The Double Exposure Study: The Impact of Job Strain and Marital Cohesion on Blood Pressure
The Impact of Job Strain and Marital Cohesion on Ambulatory Blood Pressure Over One Year: The Double Exposure Study

Psychosocial and lifestyle stressors, such as job strain (JS) and marital factors have previously been associated with a sustained increase in blood pressure (BP).

In a one-year longitudinal follow-up to the Baseline Double Exposure cohort study, we, the researchers at Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Centre, evaluated whether JS and marital cohesion continued to be associated with ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) in subjects enrolled with normal or untreated high BP.
