“…An overview of current evidence relating working and living conditions to heart disease is given by Siegrist et al (1986). Further evidence is given by Dublin and Vane (1947), Alfredsson et al (1982), Timio et al (1979), Dischinger et al (1981) and Fouriaud et al (1984). Although all these papers concentrate on heart and circulatory disease (because these are the major causes of death in men of mature age in western industrial nations).…”

Observations on the effect of unemployment on health include note that the clustering in certain geographic areas of low income, job insecurity and poor housing are the experience of the same groups of people. Considerable difficulties exist in isolating the different aspects involved. Nonetheless, it is argued (1) that the effects of each separate strand are dependent upon and reinforced by the others; (2) that it is possible to clarify the ways in which the elements interrelate; and (3) that it is the whole pattern that most satisfactorily explains currently available data on unemployment and health.

The Effects of Psychosocial Stress on Urinary, Excretion of Adrenaline and Noradrenaline in 51- to 55- and, 71- to 74-Year-Old Men

The experiments were done to investigate modifications with aging in reactivity and speed of recovery of the sympathetic adrenomedullary system during psychosocial stress. Normal male volunteers were studied. Urinary adrenaline and noradrenaline, diuresis, pH and specific gravity were measured. Adrenaline and noradrenaline baseline levels were lower in the older age group. Adrenaline levels increased by the same percent during stress in the two age groups, but came back to pre-stress values more slowly in older subjects, as did blood pressure.

Impact of Shift Work and Race/Ethnicity on the Diurnal Rhythm of Blood Pressure and Catecholamines

et al. 1998

Abstract-To evaluate the effects of shift work and race/ethnicity on the diurnal rhythm of blood pressure and urinary catecholamine excretion of healthy female nurses, 37 African American women and 62 women of other races underwent ambulatory blood pressure monitor and urine collection for 24 hours that included a full work shift: day shift (nϭ61), evening shift (nϭ11), and night shift (nϭ27). Awake and sleep times were evaluated from subjects' diaries. Of African Americans, 79% who were working evenings or nights and 32% working day shifts were nondippers (Ͻ10% drop in systolic pressure during sleep), whereas only 29% of others working eveningϩnight and 8% working day shifts were nondippers. Regression analyses indicated that eveningϩnight shift workers had a 5.4 mm Hg (PϽ0.001) smaller drop than day shift workers, and African Americans had a 4.0 mm Hg (PϽ0.01) smaller drop than others. The odds of an eveningϩnight shift worker being a nondipper were 6.1 times that of a day shift worker (PϽ0.001), and the odds of an African American were 7.1 times that of others (PϽ0.001). Total sleep time was significantly greater in the non-African American day shift workers than in the other 3 groups. After controlling for work shift and race/ethnicity, we determined that longer sleep times predicted less dipping (absolute and relative) in blood pressure. Urinary norepinephrine and epinephrine were higher during work than nonwork in both racial groups of day shift workers, but in eveningϩnight shift workers the difference was small and in the opposite direction. These results indicate that being African American and working evening or night shifts are independent predictors of nondipper status. Higher sleep blood pressure may contribute to the known adverse effects of shift work. (Hypertension. 1998;32:417-423.)
