We often believe that stress is only what is clearly shown or seen through our actions, reactions or body language, and that we can manage it, but scientists have uncovered another form of stress that our body undergoes but cannot be seen or felt from the outside.
Scientists have revealed that this kind of hidden stress can be equally dangerous and can harm your memory as you age.
The stress that causes people to turn inward may quietly increase the risk of memory loss in older Chinese Americans, according to new research from Rutgers Health.
A new study suggests that internal stress, especially feelings of frustration, may significantly accelerate memory decline in older Chinese Americans.
Surprisingly, factors such as community support did not show as much impact. Researchers say that emotional conflict may go unnoticed and untreated due to cultural pressures and stereotypes. The findings suggest that targeted, culturally sensitive stress relief may play a powerful role in preserving cognitive health.
A new study studied a group of adults over the age of 60 and found that hidden stress can either increase or decrease the risk of cognitive decline.
The study, published in The Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer’s Disease, was conducted by researchers at the Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research.
