The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) said the research was the first global analysis of the impact of clocking up excessive hours on death and health generally.
The study estimates long working hours caused 745,000 deaths worldwide in 2016, up by 29% since 2000.
Compared with working 35 to 40 hours a week, those working more than 55 saw their risk of heart disease increase by 17 per cent, while there was a 35 per cent hike in the risk of stroke.
