6 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that stress that lasts a long time can harm health?

Yes. Extensive scientific literature demonstrates that prolonged or chronic stress leads to cumulative physiological wear and tear (allostatic load), increasing the risk of various adverse mental and physical health outcomes.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 6 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The claim that long-lasting stress can harm health is a specific, empirically testable statement that is well-supported by multiple recent studies. The retrieved papers consistently show that chronic stress, allostatic load, and HPA axis dysregulation are associated with psychological distress, somatic symptoms, cardiovascular risk, and frailty.
