Thanks to a simple blood test it’s possible monitor stress. In particular, it can be done through an analysis of stem cell levels, cells that “repair” the damage that occurs every day in the body. This is said by Eugenio Caradonna, president of Smicri, the Italian Society of multi-specialty regenerative medicine and surgery.

«The change of season, the Covid and the usual ones personal matters they can turn September into a black month for millions of Italians. In fact, it is calculated that one in three Italians it suffers from high levels of stress – underlines Caradonna – It is therefore not a negligible and limited health problem as this has a harmful action on the whole organism and on our ability to regenerate cell tissues. It is a risk factor that in the long run can also lead to premature aging oppure a serious illnesses cardio-circulatory or neurodegenerative “.

“The blood level should therefore be monitored regularly as it already happens for blood sugar or triglycerides – continues the president Simcri – The exam is not in itself expensive or difficult to carry out. However, it requires that i data are interpreted by medical personnel with considerable experience in the sector. It is a series of values ​​that are then connected to other parameters such as health, stress, age or weight “Simcri, with Pietro Formisano, professor of clinical pathology at Federico II of Naples, and Arnolfo Petruzziello, director of the Department of Services Sanitari dell’Aorn di Caserta, has also developed a specific method of analysis through a complex system of tables with which it is possible to “correlate the number of stem cells to the presence of stress and also the incidence of serious diseases”, adds Caradonna .

For the reduction of stress for the young patient, it may be sufficient to intervene on lifestyles and therefore physical activity or the cessation of smoking should be favored – concludes the president of the Society – For the elderly, specific treatments are instead necessary that take into account the state of general health as well as the presence of other diseases “.
