Do negative stressors have an impact on life expectancy? Explain

What will be an ideal response?


Eventually, negative stressors can have an impact on life expectancy itself. Unhealthy behaviors and lifestyles, many related to stress, are believed to account for many premature deaths. For instance, in the United States smoking tobacco causes approximately 80% of the lung cancer deaths for women and 90% for men. This is the bad news. The good news, however, at least in many parts of the world, is that people today who live healthy lifestyles can generally expect to live a long life.
