Key result
Having a university degree was associated with a higher probability of high perceived stress compared to senior middle school education or below (OR 1.453; 95% CI 1.206-1.750).
Why the study?
Chronic stress is linked to cardiovascular disease, but few studies have examined perceived stress and its influencing factors in patients with coronary heart disease.

What factors are associated with high perceived stress in Chinese patients with coronary heart disease?
Odds Ratio: 1.453 (95% CI 1.206–1.75)
In Chinese patients with coronary heart disease, higher educational attainment, mental labor, having children, and risky alcohol consumption are significantly associated with higher perceived stress.
Gao et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in coronary heart disease (n=2,215). University degree vs. Senior middle school education or below was evaluated on High perceived stress (OR 1.453, 95% CI 1.206 to 1.750). Having a university degree was associated with a higher probability of high perceived stress compared to senior middle school education or below (OR 1.453; 95% CI 1.206-1.750).
