What impact does unemployment have on the risk of heart disease according to a recent study
Study conducted by ICMR suggests higher risk of heart disease for unemployed adults.
According to a recent study conducted by the ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research), unemployment has been associated with a higher risk of heart disease in adults. The study revealed the following impacts of unemployment on the risk of heart disease:
- Unemployed adults are more likely to experience chronic stress, which is a significant risk factor for heart disease.
- Financial instability due to unemployment can lead to unhealthy lifestyle choices such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and increased alcohol consumption, all of which contribute to heart disease risk.
- Lack of access to healthcare services and health insurance coverage among the unemployed may result in delays in seeking treatment for underlying health conditions that could increase the risk of heart disease.
- Social isolation and lack of social support networks among the unemployed can also contribute to mental health issues like depression and anxiety, which are linked to heart disease risk.
- Overall, the study indicates that unemployment may have a detrimental impact on both physical and mental well-being, increasing the risk of heart disease among affected adults.
