## Work-Related Stress Linked to Increased Risk of Peripheral Artery Disease
Emerging research has established a significant link between work-related stress and an increased risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition affecting millions worldwide. PAD occurs when fatty deposits build up in arteries outside the heart, most commonly in the legs, leading to reduced blood flow and symptoms such as leg pain during walking. If left untreated, PAD raises the risk of heart attack and stroke[5].
