Report links workplace discrimination to high blood pressure


Adults who felt they had experienced a high level of discrimination at work were 54 percent more likely to develop high blood pressure (hypertension) than were those who reported little or no workplace discrimination, according to research published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.


By comparison, those who reported intermediate levels of discrimination were 22 percent more likely to have high blood pressure than were workers who reported less discrimination.
