The association between stress and blood pressure in a sample from the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1) (original) (raw)

Abstract

AI

Elevated arterial blood pressure is a significant risk factor for various cardiovascular diseases. This study examines the relationship between stress and blood pressure through the analysis of data from the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1). Specifically, it investigates correlations between blood pressure levels and two stress assessment scales while adjusting for potential confounders, revealing notable associations that highlight the complexities of stress's impact on health.
