Aging and Stress

Abstract

Abstract There exists an interplay between the process of aging and the experience of stress such that an individual's physical and mental health can be greatly affected by the stressful events that are experienced over time. While some of these events can be considered normal and expected occurrences of an individual moving through the life course, others can be described as a product of the historical context in which the individual resides. The combination of these stressful events, whether in the form of major role transitions, the development of chronic conditions, or the perpetuation of daily hassles, can have significant consequences on the health of aging individuals, and these consequences can be mediated by a host of other factors such as individual control of events, coping strategies, and social support.
