Individuals working 55 or more hours every week face an estimated 35% higher risk of a stroke and a 17% higher risk of dying from heart disease, compared to people following the vastly accepted standard of working 35 to 40 hours in a week, the WHO presents in a study that was published in the journal Environment International.
