Heart Disease In The News Job stress may harden men's arteries A new study suggests that middle-aged men who are under significant job stress may develop hardening of the arteries at a faster rate than men who work in low-stress jobs. In the study, conducted at a California utility company, men between the ages of 40 and 60 who reported high job stress had a 36% chance of having signs of atherosclerosis in their carotid arteries. Only 21% who reported low job stress had signs of atherosclerosis. The same study showed no correlation between high job stress and hardening of the arteries in women.
