Can job frustration raise your blood pressure? a new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07740434
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether work-related frustration and stress are linked to higher-risk blood pressure patterns, such as masked or white-coat hypertension. Researchers will monitor the blood pressure of working adults aged 40 to 65 over 24 hours and compare it with their perceived stress and work-related quality of life. The goal is to understand how workplace wellbeing might affect cardiovascular health and to inform future prevention strategies.
