Psychiatric News (12/9) reported, “Experiencing multiple stressful events or chronic stress at home or at work over the course of a year raises the risk of several types of stroke,” but “having a greater sense of control over the situations and experiences that affect one’s life – a greater locus of control – may help counter the impact of stress on stroke risk,” investigators concluded after analyzing “data from 26,812 participants in the INTERSTROKE study.” The findings were published online Dec. 9 in JAMA Network Open.
