Does simultaneous exposure to effort-reward imbalance and job strain increase the risk of first non-fatal acute myocardial infarction in adults aged 45-64 years?
Combining the effort-reward imbalance and job strain models improves risk estimation for first non-fatal acute myocardial infarction, demonstrating a roughly twofold increased risk for simultaneous exposure in both men and women.
