Key result
High job strain in men with high blood pressure was associated with a 5.4 mm Hg higher sleep systolic blood pressure and a significantly blunted nighttime blood pressure dipping.
Why the study?
Does high job strain reduce nighttime blood pressure dipping in men and women with high blood pressure?
Cross-Sectional (n=122)
Does high job strain reduce nighttime blood pressure dipping in men and women with high blood pressure?
Absolute Event Rate: 13.4% vs 18.8%
p-value: p=0.03
High job strain in men with high blood pressure is associated with blunted nighttime systolic and pulse pressure dipping, which may contribute to increased cardiovascular risk.

Does not support changing hypertension care; leaves open whether job strain affects nocturnal dipping in men.
Fan et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in High blood pressure (n=122). High job strain vs. Low job strain was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure dipping (awake-sleep difference) in men (p=0.03). High job strain in men with high blood pressure was associated with a 5.4 mm Hg higher sleep systolic blood pressure and a significantly blunted nighttime blood pressure dipping.
