<p>I know what you mean - I was surprised to hear that as well. Check out the Whitehall Study (participants were government workers in the UK) - I believe that is what the show was based on. There was a correlating study based on baboons. The results of each were very similar. Those at the top of the social hierarchy (and also alpha males) may have more stress, but they do not experience it in as much of a physiologically damaging way.</p>
<p>Interesting stuff.</p>
