TITLE:

EFFECTS OF STRESS ON NEUROPSYCHIATRIC ASPECTS, COGNITION AND BLOOD VISCOSITY

PAGES: 171
BIG AREA: Outra
AREA: Multidisciplinar
SUMMARY:

Psychological stress has been linked to high levels of oxidative damage, which can trigger cognitive disorders. The Free Radical Theory of Aging suggests that the accumulation of oxidative damage contributes to cellular aging and age-related diseases. Free radicals affect the rheology of red blood cells, influencing blood circulation and cardiovascular function. The human brain is susceptible to oxidative stress due to its physiological and biochemical characteristics. Psychological stress can lead to hemorheological abnormalities, decreasing the supply of oxygen and nutrients, which can affect cognitive function. This project investigated the correlations between stress levels (assessed with the DASS-21 scale), blood viscosity and cognitive performance in 34 young adults aged 20 to 30 years. Furthermore, possible associations between stress, sleep quality (PSQI), quality of life (WHOQOL) and perception of time (Temporal Bisection Task) were analyzed. The results of this study evidenced the effects of stress and depression on psychological well-being, the effects of depression on sleep quality and cognitive functioning, and the effects of stress on performance and temporal discrimination.
