Chronic stress is cross-sectionally and prospectively associated with disease development and reduced life expectancy. Chronic stress can take many different forms, from extreme or traumatic single life events such as rape, accidents, natural disasters to long-term exposure to stressful conditions, such as caregiving, and finally, to accumulation of daily hassles, in someone's private life as well as in the work environment. As summarized in this chapter, there is now strong evidence linking many different forms of chronic stress with different diseases, with shorter life expectancy. In our quest to understand, and potentially intervene against, the health effects of chronic stress, research has targeted the communication systems linking the CNS, in which stress experience is located, with the periphery of the organism, in which damage accumulates that ultimately leads to disease and death.
