Neural
As the level of psychosocial stress increases, the risk of death and coronary heart disease also increases.
Monitoring and managing stress levels may be crucial for reducing mortality and CHD risk.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
As the level of stress increased, there were increases in risk of death (low stress: hazard ratio [HR], 1.09 [95% CI, 1.03-1.16]; high stress: 1.17 [95% CI, 1.06-1.29]) and CHD (low stress: HR, 1.09 [95% CI, 1.01-1.18]; high stress: HR, 1.24 [95% CI, 1.08-1.42]).
