Background:  Chronic stress has emerged as a significant health concern among working adults, contributing to various physical and mental health issues. This study aims to explore the pathological correlates of chronic stress in this population, providing insights into its impacts and potential interventions. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 180 working adults from diverse professional backgrounds. Participants were selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, and data were collected through validated questionnaires assessing stress levels and health outcomes, alongside clinical evaluations for stress-related pathologies. Results: Preliminary findings indicate a strong correlation between chronic stress and a range of pathological conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal disturbances and mental health disorders. Detailed statistical analysis is underway to further elucidate these relationships. Conclusions: This study highlights the significant burden of chronic stress among working adults and its association with various pathological correlates. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to mitigate stress and its health impacts in the workplace.
