Unemployment and Cardiovascular Risk Indicators Data from the MONICA Survey in Northern Sweden
We studied the effect of unemployment, or the threat of unemployment, on indicators of cardiovascular risk in a randomly selected cross-sectional sample of the population aged 25–64 years in northern Sweden with interviews and a health examination. In men, unemployment for more than one year correla...
