“…These findings suggest that stressors related to job role or content and poor human relat ions at the workplace rather than job overload are important risk factors for depressive symptoms in industrial workers. These findings are consistent with those of a report by House (12) in which perceived work rewards were significantly related to neurotic symptoms while quantitative overload was not.…”

However, the psychologic measures available to us may not have been sensitive enough to detect subtle relationships.…”

hypertension.5 Measures to prevent the development of high blood pressure would presumably be even more effective. It is generally accepted that weight, heart rate, blood glucose, salt and alcohol consumption, hematocrit and smoking status correlate with blood pressure levels.68" However, with few exceptions, these studies have been cross-sectional, so it is not clear whether these correlated conditions predate, accompany, or occur after elevation in blood pressure. Data collected by the Normative Aging Study allow prospective examination of the effects of these and other factors on the subsequent rate of change in blood pressure and on the development of elevated levels of blood pressure. A sample of men recruited from the Boston area has been under surveillence since 1963. The subjects who were initially normotensive

TMI workers experienced much greater job tension and lower occupational self-esteem (supervisors only). At the time of the accident, TMI workers reported experiencing more periods of anger, extreme worry and extreme upset, and more psychophysiological symptoms. Six months after the accident, some persistence of these feelings and symptoms was evident. Demoralization was greater primarily among TMI non-supervisory workers. The impact of the accident was not greater among TMI workers living closer to the plant. Presence of a preschool child at home enhanced the impact of the accident, but primarily among TMI supervisors.
