Are stress management strategies likely to be effective in reducing cholesterol levels?
What will be an ideal response?
A large multi-site intervention study of 869 CHD patients found that participation in a three-month stress management program that was part of a combined multicomponent lifestyle intervention program led to reductions of total cholesterol/high density lipoprotein in CHD men participants and lowered levels of triglycerides in CHD men and women participants. Therefore, at least in CHD men and to a certain extent CHD women, stress management appeared to reduce their lipid levels. It appears, however, that the jury is still out regarding the nature of the complicated relationship between stress and serum lipid levels.
