Work

Work satisfaction does not have a statistically significant impact on mortality risk.

• High work satisfaction may be linked to a 15-20% lower mortality risk, but this often lessens when adjusted for health and socioeconomic factors. Most research is observational and cannot prove causation.
• Job stressors and working conditions may indirectly impact mortality through stress, mental health, and health habits.
• Satisfied workers generally have better health habits, but the connection between work satisfaction and mortality is complex and requires further study to fully understand long-term effects.
