Does low-stress resilience in adolescence increase the risk of coronary heart disease in middle age?
Low-stress resilience in adolescence is a risk factor for coronary heart disease in middle age and may attenuate the protective cardiovascular effects of physical fitness.
Low-stress resilience in adolescence was associated with increased risk of CHD in middle age and may diminish the benefit of physical fitness. This represents new evidence of the role of stress resilience in determining risk of CHD and its interrelationship with physical fitness.
