Health for life

People with job stress and an unhealthy lifestyle are at higher risk of coronary artery disease than people who have job stress but lead healthy lifestyles, found a study published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).

To determine whether a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the effects of job stress on coronary artery disease, researchers looked at 7 cohort studies from a large European initiative that included 102 128 people who were disease-free during the 15-year study period (1985-2000). Participants, ranging in age from 17-70 (mean 44.3) years were from the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Sweden and Finland. More than half (52%) were women.

Of the total participants, 15 986 (16%) reported job stress, which was determined from specific job-related questions in the studies. The investigators defined three lifestyle categories based on smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity/inactivity and obesity (body mass index). A "healthy lifestyle" had no lifestyle risk factors, "moderately unhealthy lifestyle" had one risk factor and "unhealthy lifestyle" included 2-4 lifestyle risk factors.

A total of 1086 participants had incident events of coronary artery disease events during the follow-up period. The 10-year incidence of coronary artery disease was 18.4 per 1000 people for people with job strain and 14.7 for those without job strain. People with an unhealthy lifestyle had a significantly higher 10-year incidence rate (30.6 per 1000) compared to those with a healthy lifestyle (12.0 per 1000). The incidence rate was 31.2 per 1000 for participants with job strain and an unhealthy lifestyle but only 14.7 for those with job strain and a healthy lifestyle.

"The risk of coronary artery disease was highest among participants who reported job strain and an unhealthy lifestyle; those with job strain and a healthy lifestyle had about half the rate of this disease," writes Dr. Mika Kivimäki, Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, University College London (UCL), London, United Kingdom. "These observational data suggest that a healthy lifestyle could substantially reduce the risk of coronary artery disease risk among people with job strain."

Evidence from randomized controlled trials has shown that lifestyle changes such as weight loss and stopping smoking can reduce the risk of disease.

"In addition to stress counselling, clinicians might consider paying closer attention to lifestyle risk factors in patients who report job strain," the authors conclude.

Health for human | My first experience of a little story that I experienced on my idap disease is Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), at the age of 33 years old I had a heart attack while driving in the car. This is how I feel without any specific complaints in advance but, in fact my sudden shortness of breath with the cessation of breathing a few seconds (do not reach 1 minute) followed by back pain and a cold sweat off his entire body, I had time to panic I thought dying will fetch me, but Praise God still protects and gives me the opportunity to live in the moment. Because pain and shortness of breath that does not stop a few hours, my wife and I decided to go to one of the private hospital of international standard in Bandung (Bandung happened to my people)

at that time I dealt with the ER doctor. The doctor asked me what happened to my wife, immediately take action also in the stomach and given injections of drugs that have been opened recently placed under the tongue that I knew it was to thin the blood also to dilate coronary blood vessels in the heart, then installed the tool ECG in ECG after I tested positive for CHD, because my wife did not believe I am finally on the ECG is the second time, and the results remain positive CHD.

To further make sure I was rushed to the ICU for treatment and better outcomes. After blood was taken in the laboratory, but the result showed very high levels of total cholesterol where LDL levels (bad cholesterol) and high levels of HDL (good cholesterol) is very low, normal triglycerides, CKMB levels are very high anyway. These results are enough to prove that I am suffering from CHD.

My doctor advised me to dikateterisasi for the pairs of ring (ring) in the blood vessels are blocked, at that time in 2008 for the cost of a drug ring plus have to pocket 35 million dollars, because my curiosity dikateterisasi proceed with above instructions your doctor if the blockage is less than 40% then no need to be installed simply by taking the drug ring and a healthy lifestyle. My guess would be missed if the blockage of blood vessels that I experienced there was a five-point with each - each 90% in fact there are already 100%. Automatic immediately anyway I thought about trying to multiply it cost 35 million dollars multiplied by 5 rings to be paid, instead of calm even so stressed I had to pay 175 million dollars plus the cost of care has not been long in the hospital, I finally decided not to proceed with its own mounting ring (the ring) had been at the heart of assuming a very large cost and outage I havent enough money for it all.

Coming home from the hospital I was advised consume the drugs doctors prescribed which must be redeemed approximately 1.5 million for each month. I spent the days are heavy with patience, and keep remembering tawakal also closer to the Almighty Creator. My situation is not improved even continued to decline from day to day for a bowel movement I just have to consume the drug in order to smoothly let alone to walk up the stairs to the second floor I could not because my breathing is quite crowded.

Because there is not much activity the end I often read books and go to the internet related to coronary heart disease problem, which is quite surprising is the danger of the negative effects of the drugs that I normally consume with my determination to stop consuming drugs did cause long-term effects I received an impact that will cause other serious illnesses. I consumed drugs in the period was only 2 months, the effect is very pronounced indeed that is the condition of the body should be able to defend against a disease that we suffer so that the pain in the chest and shortness of breath I felt almost a year.

Heres more evidence why breakfast may be the most important meal of the day: Men who reported that they regularly skipped breakfast had a higher risk of a heart attack or fatal coronary heart disease in a study reported in the American Heart Association journal Circulation.

Researchers analyzed food frequency questionnaire data and tracked health outcomes for 16 years (1992-2008) on 26,902 male health professionals ages 45-82. They found:

Men who reported they skipped breakfast had a 27 percent higher risk of heart attack or death from coronary heart disease than those who reported they didnt.
The men who reported not eating breakfast were younger than those who did, and were more likely to be smokers, employed full time, unmarried, less physically active and drank more alcohol.

Men who reported eating late at night (eating after going to bed) had a 55 percent higher coronary heart disease risk than those who didnt. But researchers were less convinced this was a major public health concern because few men in the study reported this behavior.

During the study, 1,572 of the men had first-time cardiac events.

"Skipping breakfast may lead to one or more risk factors, including obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes, which may in turn lead to a heart attack over time," said Leah E. Cahill, Ph.D., study lead author and Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Mass.

"Our study group has spent decades studying the health effects of diet quality and composition, and now this new data also suggests overall dietary habits can be important to lower risk of coronary heart disease," said Eric Rimm, Sc.D., senior author and Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health and Associate Professor of Medicine at the Harvard Medical School.

Men who reported eating breakfast ate on average one more time per day than those who skipped breakfast, implying that those who abstained from breakfast were not eating additional make-up meals later in the day. Although there was some overlap between those who skipped breakfast and those who ate late at night, 76 percent of late-night eaters also ate breakfast, researchers said.

The study collected comprehensive questionnaire data from the participants and accounted for many important factors such as TV watching, physical activity, sleep, diet quality, alcohol intake, medical history, BMI, and social factors like whether or not the men worked full-time, were married, saw their doctor regularly for physical exams, or smoked currently or in the past.

While the current study group was composed of men who were of 97 percent white European descent, the results should also apply to women and other ethnic groups, but this should be tested in additional studies, researchers said.

"Dont skip breakfast," Cahill said. "Eating breakfast is associated with a decreased risk of heart attacks. Incorporating many types of healthy foods into your breakfast is an easy way to ensure your meal provides adequate energy and a healthy balance of nutrients, such as protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. For example, adding nuts and chopped fruit to a bowl of whole grain cereal or steel-cut oatmeal in the morning is a great way to start the day."
