Advancing Research on Psychosocial Stress and Aging with the Health and Retirement Study
The HRS provides one of the most comprehensive assessments of psychosocial stress in existing population-based studies and offers the potential for a deeper understanding of how psychosocial factors are related to healthy aging trajectories.

However, little research has examined the association be…
