But we don't know whether it's stress itself that increases the risk, or unhealthy behaviours brought on by stress, such as drinking and smoking. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/besttreatments/2009/oct/02/constant-stress-linked-to-stroke-risk"><P>Studies so far have found links between stress and coronary artery disease, even suggesting that stressed people might be more at risk of heart attacks. In a new study, researchers have looked at whether feeling stressed could affect the chances of having a stroke. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/besttreatments/2009/oct/02/constant-stress-linked-to-stroke-risk"><P>Stress is subjective and can be difficult to study, so we can afford to be a little cautious about the new research. Lots of things affect your chances of having a stroke, so there's no need to worry particularly about stress. The researchers found that being permanently stressed increased the risk of stroke by about three times. To put this in perspective, another study found that women who smoked 40 or more cigarettes a day had nine times the usual risk of a stroke. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/8FB4E86E-0C79-4A36-BEA7-BA633EFD3538/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
