Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for 43 percent of all deaths (7). Essential hypertension affects as many as 50 million Americans (85). Cigarette smoking, serum cholesterol, hypertension, physical inactivity, overweight, and diabetes have been identified as risk factors for CVD, but the causes of essential hyper tension are still poorly understood.Several research traditions have implicated psychosocial stress as a po tential risk factor for CVD. Various models focus on personal characteristics such as Type A behavior (94) or hostility (22, 24, 120), or environmental stressors such as lower socioeconomic status (SES)(15, 78, 92), unemploy ment (13), or social isolation (20, 43). The literature on occupational stress has been dominated by two perspectives, the person-environment (PE) fit model (16) and Karasek's job demands-control or" job strain" model (52, 58). While the PE fit model" focuses on the interaction between the individual and the environment"(9), the job strain model focuses on objective features of the work environment that an trigger disease. In 1985, Baker evaluated the evidence for these two models and concluded that the job strain model has greater" predictive power" than that of the PE fit
