Policy changes for preventing and recognizing overwork-related cardiovascular diseases in Taiwan: An overview.

Long working hours and other work characteristics increase the risk of overwork-related CVD. By reviewing the changes in policy for preventing overwork and recognizing overwork-related disease, we identified the need for clearly defined guidance on evaluating overwork-related CVD, with specific criteria for working hours and other risk factors regarding work characteristics. National policies that lead to better working conditions and prevent overwork-related diseases must be developed.
