Job burnout and depression

WASHINGTON: A recent study has revealed that men and women differ in their immune reactions to work-related burnout and depression.
The findings appearing in the Journal of Occupational and Health Psychology state that women who experience job burnout and men who experience depression have increased levels of two inflammation biomarkers — fibrinogen and C-reactive protein (CRP), both believed to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
The study says that these two risks are in addition to the conventional risk factors like blood lipids and glucose. The findings revealed that women in the study who scored higher on burnout scores had a 1.6-fold risk of having an elevated level of CRP, and elevated levels of fibrinogen compared with their non-burned out counterparts (after controlling for their levels of depression and anxiety).
