ارتباط بین فرسودگی شغلی و بیماری جسمی در جمعیت عمومی، نتایج بدست آمده از مطالعه 2000 مورد بهداشت فنلاندی

Burnout is associated with musculoskeletal diseases among women and with cardiovascular diseases among men. These associations are not explained by sociodemographic factors, health behavior, or depression. Physical illnesses are associated with all three dimensions of burnout and not only with the exhaustion dimension. In the future, the causal relationships between burnout and physical diseases need to be investigated in prospective studies.
