A study conducted by researchers from the United Kingdom has revealed that financial difficulties adversely affect not only mental health but also physical health, particularly the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems. This information was reported by the Public Health Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, as conveyed by UNN.

The four-year study involved 4,934 participants aged 50 and older. Researchers identified six primary stress factors, including financial issues, caregiving, disability, severe loss, illness, and divorce.

Results indicated that participants experiencing stress from financial hardships had a 60% higher likelihood of developing a "high-risk profile" after four years. Each additional stress factor, such as divorce, increased the likelihood by 19%. The study confirms that chronic stress can lead to significant health changes, particularly due to hormonal shifts and inflammatory processes in the body.

Experts recommend eliminating stress factors, maintaining a balanced diet, ensuring adequate sleep, and engaging in regular physical activity to combat stress. If necessary, individuals should seek medical assistance.
