Adherence
Psychosocial factors, including socioeconomic status, perceived control, and depression, are key determinants of cardiovascular disease and mortality.
Pay attention to your mental well-being and social connections. Managing stress, maintaining a sense of control, and seeking social support are important for cardiovascular health, especially in high-stress environments.
ModerateSupportsMEDIUM confidence
Psychosocial factors, both at individual and population level, are related to CVD and other non-communicable diseases.
Why this rating
The paper states direct evidence is 'sparse' and requires longitudinal study.
