As shown by the results of a study of 4 thousand 700 people, people who work in organizations with prospects for further career growth, 20% less likely to suffer from heart disease over a 15-year observation period.
Moreover, the conversation here does not mean that among the initially healthy and, consequently, successful people, the rates of diseases are many times lower.
Michael Anderson of the University of California and Michael Marmoth, professor of epidemiology at the University College in London, emphasize the positive impact of career growth on its own.
Last year, by the way, a study was conducted, which was devoted to government employees in England. In the course of the study it was proved that people with serious illnesses received in childhood, in the service were much less likely to receive an increase. But the success in the work in no way on health did not affect.
Even the results of one scientific work show that people who have become happy owners of the Oscar and the Nobel Prize, live a little longer than the nominees. In any circumstances, according to Marmoth, a person in a higher position can boast better health.
