The findings are based on a nine-year study of burnout in middle-aged working women, undertaken by Annika Evolahti, Daniel Hultell and Aila Collins, from Karolinska Institute.
"This important study expands our understanding of burnout in working women, in terms of both patterns of development and relation to various stressors and individual factors," said Susan G. Kornstein, editor-in-Chief of Journal of Women's Health, which published these findings.
