Prevalence—Who Does Stress Affect?

At least 47% of Americans, most of which are women, are concerned about the stress levels in their lives.  Americans over the age of 40 report the highest levels of stress.   Levels tend to vary amongst those with children, and according to marital status.  Single parents are likely to have higher stress levels compared with parents who have partners to share responsibilities. 

 

Whatever a person’s age, gender or marital status, prolonged stress can seriously affect the mental and physical health of an individual.  The World Health Organization estimates that 75-90% of primary care physician visits are the result of stress related disorders.
