Workaholic women are most susceptible to diabetes, scientists have found
Canadian scientists have found that women who work more than 45 hours a week have an increased risk of developing diabetes by more than 60 percent, writes the Science Daily portal.
In their study, scientists for 12 years (from 2003 to 2015) tracked the health indicators of 7,065 Canadian men and women aged 35 to 74 years, using data from the National Health Survey and medical records.
The participants were divided into four groups according to the number of working hours: the first worked from 15 to 43 hours a week, the second 34-40 hours, the third 41-44 hours, and the fourth 45 hours or more.
As a result, scientists found that women who work 45 hours a week or more were 63 percent more likely to suffer from diabetes than other groups. Other risk factors such as smoking, physical activity level or body mass index, as it turned out, played a minor role.

According to the researchers, a long working day, supplemented by household chores, causes a chronic stress reaction in the female body, and this increases the risk of hormonal failures, including the occurrence of insulin resistance. In addition, women often simply do not have enough time to lead a healthy lifestyle, get enough sleep and monitor their health.
Scientists also recommended that men work no more than 47 hours a week, and women who are also loaded with household chores – no more than 34.
