Research Introduction

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with hypertension being one of the most significant risk factors. The link between chronic stress and CVD is well-documented, highlighting the role of stress as a predictor of conditions such as coronary heart disease and hypertension. Additionally, chronic stress has been associated with increased susceptibility to upper respiratory diseases, likely due to its impact on immune function. The proinflammatory cytokine production triggered by excessive stress is believed to exacerbate autoimmune diseases, further complicating health outcomes [1].

Health Behaviors: Engaging in health-promoting behaviors, such as clean eating, has been suggested as a potential strategy for mitigating stress-related health risks. However, the relationship between health behaviors and stress is complex and requires further investigation. It is essential to explore whether these behaviors are outcomes of stress or coping mechanisms employed to manage stress. Furthermore, the effectiveness of health behaviors in reducing stress may be influenced by various factors, including demographic characteristics, cultural background, and the social environment of individuals [2].

Exercise and Stress Reduction: Physical activity, particularly aerobic exercise, has been consistently shown to reduce the adverse effects of stress. Individuals who engage in regular aerobic exercise, defined as exercising at least two to three times per week, report significantly lower levels of stress compared to those who lead a sedentary lifestyle. This correlation underscores the importance of exercise as a critical component in stress management and overall health maintenance [3].

Hypothesis: The study hypothesizes that regular engagement in aerobic exercise will significantly reduce the levels of stress and related health complications among adults, with the extent of reduction varying based on demographic factors such as age, gender, and cultural background.

Research Question:

Does regular aerobic exercise reduce stress levels and related health complications, and how do demographic factors such as age, gender, and cultural background influence this relationship?

Hypothesis:

If adults engage in regular aerobic exercise at least three times per week, then they will experience a significant reduction in stress levels and related health complications, with the extent of this reduction varying based on demographic factors such as age, gender, and cultural background.

RESEARCH MATERIALS & METHODS

• A questionnaire was administered to 200 participants from urban and rural areas in Northern California.
• Participants provided information on age, gender, education level, and occupation.
• Questions assessed average hours of sleep per night, frequency of sleep disturbances, and use of sleep aids.
• This section gathered data on daily screen time, caffeine consumption, and physical activity levels.

Correlations were analyzed between sleep quality and lifestyle habits. Additional comparisons were made between urban and rural participants regarding sleep patterns and lifestyle factors.
