Abstract
In the total sample, higher reported global stress and MLEs were associated with increased risk of MetS severity, while weekly stress was not. Men's and women's stress responses to MLEs were differentially associated with MetS severity, with male MetS severity increasing significantly at lower levels of MLEs relative to women's MetS severity. These data may have implications for targeting stress-related factors in interventions to improve cardiometabolic health in African American adults.
