Today's topic is "Middle-Aged Americans More Stressed Today than in 1990s"
A new study has found that Americans aged between 45 and 65 may be much more stressed today than people in that same age range were in the 1990s.
A team of researchers led by Penn State University looked at data from 1,499 adults in 1995, and data from 782 adults in 2012.
Both groups were interviewed every day for eight days, and were asked about anything stressful they had experienced in the previous 24 hours. This included things like arguments with family and friends, and problems at work.
The study, published in American Psychologist, found that 2% of adults experienced more stress in the 2010s than the 1990s. However, among those aged 45 to 64, 19% experienced more stress in the 2010s.
David M. Almeida of Penn State University said the researchers were very surprised that so many middle-aged Americans were more stressed.
Middle-aged people were also 17% more likely to think that stress would affect their future plans. The same age group was also 27% more likely to believe that their finances would be affected by stress in the 2010s than people that age in the 1990s.
Healthline.com reports that Almeida and his team had expected adults to be more stressed now than in the 1990s — but he said they thought it would be people in their 20s and 30s who would be most stressed.
Almeida says the research shows that middle-aged Americans seem to have more pressure on them now. For example, they might be looking after young adult children while also taking care of older family members. And at work, they are more likely to be in management roles with responsibility for many people.
