Anxiety and the Risk of Stroke
نویسندگان
چکیده
An increasing body of evidence suggests that anxiety is associated with the risk of coronary heart disease. Literature on the association between anxiety and stroke is scarce and inconsistent. Although 1 study found no association between generalized anxiety disorder and stroke, another study showed that the risk of stroke increased with increasing anxiety symptom score. Therefore, these findings require further corroboration. We assessed the association between anxiety and the risk of stroke in the general population.
