According to a new study, women who undergo extremely tiresome job tend to develop Type 2 diabetes. The study results got published in European Journal of Endocrinology. It clearly states that women who are subjected to works that are mentally draining such as teaching will have more probability of turning diabetic.
One should be aware of risks caused by mentally stressful work.
Type 2 diabetes is getting widespread these days. This in fact causes a lot of health issues such as heart attack, blindness, kidney problems, stroke, and others.
There are many causing factor for this type 2 diabetes such as obesity, smoking, exercise, poor lifestyle practices, improper diet, etc.
The study was conducted by the Centre for Research in Epidemiology and Population Health. This involved examining women who do mentally tiresome works. All of them were women. Of this, about 75 percent of the overall population was women from teaching profession and the others reportedly say they undergo very tiring work.
The study result states that out of the entire population that was studied, about 21 percent of them had very high likeliness of getting Type 2 diabetes regardless of the other elements such as age, diet practices, smoking, family history of the disease, blood pressure, BMI, etc.
It is not really possible for the study to determine the factor that increased diabetes in these women, but it is for sure that the increase in likeliness is not because of risk factors of type 2 diabetes. Ultimately, the study stressed on taking up mentally relaxed job, especially for women.
It has become very common to notice women undergoing mentally tiring work or getting type 2 diabetes. Stress among working women is largely reliant on the level of support they get from their work place. Hence, women need increased support when they go to work. Hence, for women who especially undergo stressful work, it is necessary for the others to keep the environment stress free.
The research will be helpful in trying out innovative approaches to improve overall life of diabetics.
