Psychosocial stress, typically resulting from difficulty coping with challenging environments, may work synergistically to put women at significantly higher risk of developing coronary heart disease, a new study suggested.

The study also found that high-stress life events, such as a spouse's death, divorce/separation or physical or verbal abuse, as well as social strain, were each independently linked with a 12 per cent and 9 per cent higher risk of coronary heart disease, respectively.

Adjusting for age, time at a job, and socioeconomic characteristics, high-stress life events were associated with a 12 per cent increased coronary heart disease risk, and the high social strain was associated with a 9 per cent increased risk of coronary heart disease.

The latest work builds on earlier studies linking psychosocial stress to coronary heart disease by finding out how job strain and social strain work together to compound disease risk.
