(Rochester, MN) — A new study shows worrying about money ages a heart just like other risk factors like heart disease.
Researchers presented findings in the Mayo Clinic that show that heart aging associated with money worries is similar to that caused by other risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure and prior heart attacks. The research shows financial strain increased the risk of premature death by 60-percent compared to ten-percent for a previous history of a heart attack and 27 percent for smoking.
The study involved more than 280-thousand people treated by the Mayo Clinic between 2018 and 2023 using an AI-technology.
