Work-Related Frustration and Higher Blood Pressure Risk in Everyday Adults

Official title: Work-Related Frustration and Higher Cardiovascular Risk Blood Pressure Profiles: A Regional Proof-of-Concept Study on Work-Related Quality of Life and Cardiovascular Prevention.

Run by University of Burgundy · NCT07740434 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This observational study tests whether stress and frustration at work relate to blood pressure patterns that signal higher cardiovascular risk among adults aged 40–65 who are working and have no prior cardiovascular disease or blood pressure treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 40–65 who are actively employed, visit participating general practitioners, and have no history of cardiovascular disease or antihypertensive treatment.

Probably not a fit

Individuals with established cardiovascular disease or on antihypertensive therapy may not experience direct benefits from this study.

What this trial studies

This project will observe adults aged 40–65 who are actively employed and see how their work-related feelings of frustration relate to their blood pressure patterns during daily life. It focuses on identifying blood pressure profiles such as white coat and daytime hypertension that may indicate higher cardiovascular risk. Data will be collected in primary care settings across several clinics in Burgundy to explore links between working conditions and cardiovascular risk factors. The study aims to clarify whether workplace stress corresponds with blood pressure changes independent of prior heart disease or treatment. No intervention is described; the study is observational and descriptive.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If associations are found, workplaces and clinicians may consider targeted prevention efforts to reduce cardiovascular risk linked to frustrating work conditions.

How similar studies have gone: Past research has linked work stress to adverse blood pressure patterns, suggesting this approach could yield meaningful insights, though the specific associations for this population are still being explored.
