Aging and Stress

Abstract

Abstract An interplay exists between the process of aging and the experience of stress such that an individual's physical and mental health can be greatly impacted by stressful events experienced through 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. These varied 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 control of events, coping strategies, and social support.
