Impact of Stock Market Volatility on Health

A study from Fudan University in China links stock market volatility to increased risks of heart attacks, strokes, and suicide, affecting health due to psychological stress. Both market increases and decreases were associated with higher mortality risks, with men, individuals aged 65-74, and those with lower education levels showing higher vulnerability. The study suggests that interventions at multiple levels are needed to address the health risks associated with stock market fluctuations.
