Stress is part of daily living with different challenges
during our life journey. All humans are destined to experience adversities throughout
their lives that are likely to impact their health and quality of life. Getting
older can be stressful because of multiple losses in financial, psycho-social,
personal, a decline in health, independence, and cognitive and functional
abilities.
Stressors affect older adults are more often to be chronic,
including change in social and family relationships/roles, loss of physical
abilities (i.e., vision, hearing, memory, mobility) , dealing with medical
conditions and health care decisions, suffering pain of loneliness and loss of
loved ones. Improving lifestyle and behavioral choices are essential steps
toward increasing overall health and managing chronic stress. As individuals
react to stress differently, stress can impact our lives positively or negatively.
