Lifelong friends: Supportive co-workers helped to increase life expectancy, the study found Getting along with your fellow workers can significantly increase your lifespan, according to a new university report. A 20-year study found that people who reported having low social support at work were 2.4 times more likely to die during that time as those with supportive co-workers. 都说找一个合适的伴侣是能够在年老体衰的时候相互照顾、相互扶持的美好愿望的，与自己的“枕边人”相处融洽能使人长寿当然是大家的美好理想，然而最新资料显示，能让自己“活得长”的人并不拘泥与“枕边人”，而是和自己“朝夕相处”的同事，如今都说和同事在一起工作的时间比与自己伴侣在待在一起的时间还要长，所以这也就不难怪与同事相处融洽的人能更长寿了。有一项为期20年的研究证实，那些与同事关系差的人比起关系好的人的死亡率要高得多，高达2.4倍之多。 The study followed the health records of 820 working adults aged 25 to 65 who worked an average of 8.8 hours a day. Participants were drawn from a range of backgrounds to account for various psychological, behavioural or physiological risk factors, such as smoking, obesity and depression. A mixture of professional fields were also chosen, including finance, health care and manufacturing. Participants were asked about their relationships with their supervisors, and their peer relationships at work, such as whether their peers were friendly and approachable. Of the participants who died during the course of the study, most had negligible social connections with their co-workers.A lack of emotional support at work led to a 140 per cent increased risk of dying in the next twenty years compared to those who reported supportive co-workers. |
