HealthDay (8/26) reports, “Middle-aged men who were anxious or depressed teens are at increased risk for heart attack,” investigators concluded in “a large, long-term study” that “included more than 238,000 men born between 1952 and 1956 who underwent extensive exams when they were 18 or 19 years old and were followed to age 58.” The study revealed that “men diagnosed with anxiety or depression in their late teens had a 20% higher risk of heart attack than those who didn’t.” The findings were set for presentation “at a virtual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology.”Related Links:
