Stress response is associated with manifestations of various psychosomatic and psychiatric disorders. Hence, it is important to understand the underlying mechanisms that influence this association. Moreover, men and women tend to react differently with stress-both psychologically and biologically. These differences also need to be studied in order to have a better understanding in the gender difference observed for many disorders, which are likely to be contributed by the gender difference in stress reactivity and responses. Such an understanding would have a significant impact on our understanding about how adult health is set during early life and how adult disease could be prevented in men and women.
应激反应与各种心身疾病和精神障碍的表现相关。因此，了解影响这种关联的潜在机制很重要。此外，男性和女性在心理和生物学上对应激的反应往往不同。还需要研究这些差异，以便更好地理解在许多疾病中观察到的性别差异，这些差异可能是由应激反应性和反应的性别差异所致。这样的理解将对我们理解成年期健康如何在生命早期奠定以及如何预防男性和女性的成年疾病产生重大影响。
