A study has found that middle-aged people are more stressed now than their counterparts were in the 1990s. The study found most age groups had an increase of about 2% more stress in 2012 than they did in 1995. Middle-aged people that being 45-64-year-olds had a 19% increase in stress. Data from 1,500 adults in 1995 and 800 different adults in 2012 was used, with each adult being interviewed for 8 days. They were asked about stress levels and how it was affecting different areas of their lives. Dr. Robert Roca pointed out the interviewees could have different answers if asked over 8 days spread throughout the year. He still agrees that the findings of the study are interesting and aline with recent data on suicide in the US. Suicide rates in the US have gone up 35% since 1999 with the highest rates being middle-aged people. The study author believes a faster pace of life and information overload are likely culprits of the stress increase. A healthy diet and exercise along with limiting your daily news consumption are good ways to reduce stress levels.
