Steady Dose
of Stress Stresses Immune System
(HealthDayNews, 7/5/04)
When Canadian and American scientists reviewed data from
293 studies, covering a total of 18,941 subjects, the
investigators concluded that stress affects the immune system.
The researchers found that brief incidents of stress may boost
immune function, but chronic anxiety wears it down.
