Women who work 45 hours or more a week may be at an increased risk of diabetes of nearly 70% compared to men or women who worked 30 to 40 hours a week, according to a study. However, the researchers noted that the reason may be that women can work longer, when all household chores and family responsibilities are taken into account, the researchers said.
Long hours of work could also cause a chronic stress response in the body, thus increasing the risk of hormonal abnormalities and insulin resistance.
Interestingly, the duration of the workweek was not risk of illness in men. If the incidence of diabetes tended to decrease, the longer a man's work week was, the more results showed results
