New research shows that longstanding anxiety markedly increases the risk of heart attack.
Biing-Jiun Shen, Ph.D. (an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles) explained, besides blood pressure, obesity, cholesterol, age, cigarette smoking, blood sugar levels and other cardiovascular risk factors, the role of anxiety in hiking heart attack risk also goes beyond the effects of depression, anger, hostility, Type A behavior and other negative emotions.
Shen with the researcher analyzed data from the Normative Aging Study, which was designed to assess medical and psychological changes associated with aging among a group of initially healthy men, examining four different measures of anxiety. The investigators found that men who tested at the highest 15th percentile on any of the four anxiety scales, as well as on a scale combining all four, faced an increase in the risk of heart attack of approximately 30 to 40 percent.

I’ m sort of tardy to this month’ s SPC challenge. Politics in general are tough for me- they’ re typically about opinions and often turn into a debate over who is right and who is wrong. I don’ t generally care much for debating and I don’ t really encounter alot of things that create great controversy in my life. When I do encounter something I object to, I tend to take a more passive approach to rejecting it (complain to Hubby or just ignore it).
