Stress, practical application on a population group

Abstract

The health status of a population can be evaluated only through biostatistical methods. This study begins with a brief report about stress and further evaluates the association between stress, as a risk factor, and different diseases. A group of employees was tested for exposure to three levels of stress: very high, medium, and low, but we also took into account other risk factors such as smoking, overweight, and alcohol addiction. The data were analyzed using descriptive biostatistical methods. The study revealed the aspects regarding stress as a risk factor for certain diseases.
