A strong relationship exists between women's level of stress, how they feel about their financial situation and their health, according to new research.

Aviva USA of West Des Moines, Iowa, published this finding in a summary of results from a survey conducted in collaboration with Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn. Aviva USA surveyed more than 2,000 U.S. adults, both men and women, on their health habits and financial preparedness to uncover how these factors impact their overall well-being.
