Doctors warned: one 10-hour workday ups stroke risk
Findings could be relevant to Australian doctors, who work more than 50 hours a week
Working just one 10-hour day weekly raises the chance of stroke by almost a third, say French researchers, who point out many health workers would be in the risky category.
Those who worked long hours for more than a decade were at the greatest risk of stroke, with long hours defined as working 10 hours or longer for more than 50 days a year.
