An article ripped right from my favorite FuturePundit.com on a study showing that overtime work for civil servants causes heart disease. This is a big study (>10,000participants) and impressive in that it says that they concluded that the increased risk of coronary heart disease and overtime is independent of other risks factors for heart disease.
FuturePundit points out that perhaps these folks spend more time sitting. Point taken, but I'm sure there isn't a researcher around who won't empirically deny a connection between "stress" and an increased risk of many disease processes and the risk factors thereof.
