The current study aims to evaluate the role of distress and its domains in the pathogenesis of CVE.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n This study is part of the Isfahan Cohort Study conducted on 3283 healthy individuals in 2007\u20132015 to assess the distress level, domains of perceived stressors, and their correlation with CVE development. The demographic and lifestyle characteristics of the studied population were recorded. General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) and the Stressful Life Event questionnaire (SLE) were applied to investigate the stress level and its domains, respectively. Kaplan\u2013Meier plots were depicted to show the correlation of CVE incidence with both stress statuses at study entry and the perceived stress level within the 8-year follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n The logistic regression assessments showed that the stress score was an independent predictor for CVEs incidence in both crude model (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n value = 0.001; OR: 1.08; 95%CI: 1.03-1.13) and by controlling the sociodemographic (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n value = 0.004; OR: 1.08; 95%CI: 1.02-1.12) and lifestyle factors (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n value = 0.001; OR: 1.07; 95%CI: 1.01-1.13).
