Control at work, home tied to reduced psychosocial stress, lower risk of acute stroke

Healio (12/13, Downey) reports, “A higher locus of control at work and home was associated with reduced psychosocial stress and lower odds of acute stroke, researchers reported” in a study that also explored “factors that may modify the association of stress and risk for stroke.” The researchers wrote, “This association is consistent for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke types.” The study findings were published in JAMA Network Open.
