Trajectories and cumulative burden of stressful life events in life-course with the risk of 14 incident chronic diseases: a prospective cohort study

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study followed 13,806 middle-aged and older adults to see how life stress affects health. It found that people with a history of stressful events had a higher risk of developing 14 different chronic diseases. This shows a link between stress and illness, but it does not prove that stress causes the disease.
