"Ischemic stroke and coronary heart disease are common and costly for society, and hence knowledge about modifiable risk factors is important. This study of a large cohort of relatively young and socially homogenous construction workers contributes to the knowledge regarding the association with the psychosocial work environment. The study found an association between stroke and active jobs and high job demands."
