Nearly half of Americans have reported that their most stressful experiences in the past year have been related to health, according to a new NPR/Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/Harvard School of Public Health poll.
The poll includes responses from 2,505 adults, aged 18 and older.
Key findings from the report regarding stress related to health include:
• More than half of the public — 49 percent — reported that they had a major stressful event or experience in the past year.
• More than a third of those with a great deal of stress say the contributors include their own health problems and health problems of family members.
• People in poor health are more than twice as likely than the public as a whole to report a great deal of stress in the past month.
