Supports iso-strain as CVD risk marker in workers; leaves open causal confirmation via prospective designs before practice change.
Does iso-strain (high job demands, low decision latitude, low social support) increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases in workers?
The demand-control-support model is largely supported by epidemiological evidence linking iso-strain to CVD, though future research requires stronger prospective methodologies.
