Is chronic psychosocial stress associated with the development of hypertension?
Is chronic psychosocial stress associated with the development of hypertension?
Chronic psychosocial stress is associated with hypertension, but the variability in stress definitions across studies necessitates further standardized research.
Chronic psychosocial stress may associate with hypertension; leaves open need for standardized prospective trials before clinical consideration.
The few cohort and case-control studies on the association between psychosocial stress and hypertension employed variable definition of stressors and the responses, making the meta-analysis difficult. Although we found an association between chronic psychosocial stress and hypertension, more studies are needed to confirm this relationship.
