Abstract: Abstract In a report by the Joint Working Party of the Royal College of Physicians of London and the British Cardiac Society (1976), it was established that in 1975, coronary heart disease accounted for 52% of all deaths of men aged from 45 to 54, and 41% of those aged from 25 to 44. In contrast, in 1951, heart disease accounted for less than 20% of deaths in men aged from 45 to 49. This upward trend, in one of the major manifestations of stress-related illness in our society, is unmistakably continuing, which has created an enormous interest in research studying stress identification and prevention.
