Reputation stress as the cause of the disease was already known for a long time. Recent findings stated that due to job stress can alter the way the body metabolizes fat. This condition can lead to increasing levels of "bad" cholesterol or low density lipoprotein (LDL) and raises the risk of heart disease.
Research experts in Spain found that stressful situations can affect the way the body metabolizes fat, which ended in LDL cholesterol levels soaring.
Previous research experts say, the emotional stress associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease which is the result of unhealthy habits such as smoking, unbalanced diet, lack of physical activity, and other factors.
However, the results of this new study suggests that stress can trigger dyslipidemia, namely the transfer of impaired lipid and lipoproteins in the blood.
Researchers from the Hospital Virgen de la Victoria in Malaga and Santiago de Compostela University analyzed the relationship between work stress and other parameters related to how fatty acids are metabolized by the body.
The study, published in the Scandinavian Journal of Public Health has analyzed on a population of more than 90,000 employees who carry out medical examinations.Research experts in Spain found that stressful situations can affect the way the body metabolizes fat, which ended in LDL cholesterol levels soaring.

One of the researchers Carlos Catalina, who is also a clinical pskilog and experts in the field say job stress, workers who have difficulties in their work during the past 12 months have a higher risk of dyslipidemia. The number of participants who experienced stress in this study is as much as 8.7 percent.
Dyslipidemia resulted in increased levels of total cholesterol and "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides. It also resulted in decreased levels of "good" cholesterol. Study finds more displidemia risk was found in those stressful work.
High levels of "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides, and low levels of "good" cholesterol increases the risk of plaque forming in the arteries that lead to hardening of the arteries. Hardening of the arteries increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
