“…As substantial gender differences were reported in associations of work stress with cortisol, any brief account of findings seems difficult. In an excellent recent systematic review and meta-analysis, Eddy et al [ 22 ] summarized the results of 14 studies testing associations of ERI with cortisol, as well as 10 including data on over-commitment [ 51 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 ].
