Overwork contributes to 745k premature deaths per year
When I hear people with anti-science attitudes I think back to things like this where an attempt to get a catchy headline  published, misleadingly states something that obviously isn't true. So is it a wonder that people are dismissive of the results of other scientific research like climate change research?<p>Overwork *CONTRIBUTES* to the death of more than 745k per year. It did not solely and directly cause those deaths. How would you even know if it did? But the claim of the title is that overwork killed them as if overwork popped out behind them with a gun and shot them. It's just obviously a nonsense claim. And once you put it this way, tons of things CONTRIBUTE to excessive deaths. Poor diet, exposure to many everyday chemicals, living in a city(air pollution).<p>In fact, what are the odds that overwork doesn't correlate with living in a  higher air pollution environment? Anyway, the claim in the title is nonsense.
