Key Points

To synthesize evidence on the neurobiological mechanisms and clinical outcomes related to occupational and socioeconomic stress.
Conducted a narrative review using databases including PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane from 1990 to 2024.
Focused on meta-analyses and systematic reviews related to stress and health.
Prioritized meta-analytic evidence for robust effect estimates.
Allostatic load shows dose-dependent associations with health outcomes.
Job strain linked to a 23% increased risk of coronary heart disease.
Working over 55 hours per week increases stroke risk by 33% and coronary heart disease risk by 13%.
Chronic stress correlates with hippocampal atrophy and a 2.5-fold increased risk of depression.
Work-related stress costs the U.S. over $300 billion annually in healthcare and lost productivity.
