Abstract

Purpose of review: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with occupational factors emerging as significant yet modifiable risk factors. This comprehensive review evaluates the association between various occupational exposures-including job stress, long working hours, shift work, physical activity at work, and exposure to hazardous substances-and CVD risk. Using the GRADE framework, we assessed the strength of evidence for each risk factor.

Recent findings: Job stress, long working hours, night shift work, and carbon monoxide exposure demonstrated moderate evidence linking them to increased CVD risk, while occupational noise, air pollutants, and extreme temperatures had limited evidence. Physical activity at work and exposure to toxic metals showed inconclusive findings due to inconsistencies and indirectness in study populations. This review suggests that evaluating occupational exposures is essential for the early identification and management of individuals at elevated cardiovascular risk, and emphasizes that workplace interventions and health policies should prioritize reducing specific risk factors-such as job stress, long working hours, and hazardous exposures-to prevent CVD at both individual and population levels.

心血管疾病的职业危险因素：综述

综述目的：心血管疾病（CVD）仍然是世界范围内发病率和死亡率的主要原因，职业因素正在成为重要但可改变的危险因素。这篇综合综述评估了各种职业暴露（包括工作压力、长时间工作、轮班工作、工作中的体力活动和接触有害物质）与心血管疾病风险之间的关系。使用GRADE框架，我们评估了每个风险因素的证据强度。最近的研究发现：工作压力、长时间工作、夜班工作和一氧化碳暴露显示出与心血管疾病风险增加有关的适度证据，而职业噪音、空气污染物和极端温度的证据有限。由于研究人群的不一致性和间接性，工作中的体力活动和接触有毒金属显示出不确定的结果。这篇综述表明，评估职业暴露对于早期识别和管理心血管风险升高的个体至关重要，并强调工作场所干预和卫生政策应优先减少特定的风险因素，如工作压力、长时间工作和危险暴露，以在个人和人群水平上预防心血管疾病。

期刊介绍： The aim of this journal is to provide timely perspectives from experts on current advances in cardiovascular medicine. We also seek to provide reviews that highlight the most important recently published papers selected from the wealth of available cardiovascular literature. We accomplish this aim by appointing key authorities in major subject areas across the discipline. Section editors select topics to be reviewed by leading experts who emphasize recent developments and highlight important papers published over the past year. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.
