NPR did a poll on stress. Poor health was a leading cause of stress. Here are some excerpts:
"The poll asked people to say in their own words what was the biggest cause of their stress over the past year. By far the leading reason was poor health. Either they or someone in their family was really sick, or they were overwhelmed by the death of a loved one."
"When we looked at people reporting 'a great deal of stress' in the past month – a measure of current stress – sickness again stood out. Sixty percent of people in poor health report having high stress levels."
"It's a vicious circle. Having diabetes causes stress. And stress makes the diabetes worse. That, of course, is true of many illnesses."
"And there's another thing that can help – simply acknowledging that stress can overwhelm people's ability to cope. "

"Nearly 60 percent of
those reporting a lot of stress say they find relief from routinely spending
time with family or friends."
