What are the implications of unemployed adults being at a higher risk of heart disease according to an ICMR study

Study findings linking unemployment with heart disease risk factors

1. Increased stress levels: Unemployed adults often face financial instability and uncertainty about the future, leading to higher levels of stress.
2. Unhealthy lifestyle choices: Limited financial resources may result in poor diet choices and lack of access to healthcare services, increasing the risk of heart disease.
3. Lack of physical activity: Unemployment can lead to a sedentary lifestyle due to decreased daily routines or inability to afford gym memberships or exercise classes.
4. Mental health issues: The emotional impact of unemployment, such as depression and anxiety, can also contribute to heart disease risk factors.
5. Social isolation: Unemployment may lead to social withdrawal and lack of emotional support, further worsening heart health.

These factors highlight the importance of addressing socio-economic factors in efforts to prevent heart disease among unemployed adults.
