This article summarizes some of the major findings in research on associations between psychosocial factors and cardiovascular illness. Methodological difficulties are discussed. Findings from some of the authors' own studies serve as illustrations. It is emphasized that an interplay between environmental and individual factors is of great importance. Personality factors relevant to the risk of cardiovascular illness may distort individual descriptions of the work environment. Cardiovascular risk factors such as cigarette smoking and repeated blood pressure elevations may be influenced by psychosocial factors. Lack of intellectual discretion at work, particularly if combined with excessive demands, may increase the risk of cardiovascular illness.
本文总结了心理社会因素与心血管疾病之间关联研究的一些主要发现。讨论了方法学上的困难。作者自身的一些研究结果可作为例证。强调环境因素与个体因素之间的相互作用非常重要。与心血管疾病风险相关的人格因素可能会扭曲个体对工作环境的描述。吸烟和反复血压升高等心血管危险因素可能会受到心理社会因素的影响。工作中缺乏理智判断，尤其是与过高要求相结合时，可能会增加患心血管疾病的风险。
