Many individuals seeking asylum in the United States show increased stress and pain symptoms that are associated with indications of cardiovascular disease according to Weill Cornell Medicine researchers.

The study, published Dec. 5 in Nature Mental Health, analyzed medical evaluations from 453 U.S. asylum seekers for symptoms associated with psychological stress, cardiovascular disease risk and physical pain. The findings surprised researchers as the median age for the asylum seekers was 30, which is considered young to be showing cardiovascular concerns.
During a qualitative study about stress, legal status and pain, asylum seekers seen at the Human Rights Impact Lab at Weill Cornell Medicine, where Dr. Kaur is founding director, reported concerning symptoms of cardiovascular disease. "Clinicians and researchers aren't typically looking for cardiovascular disease in these young patients," Dr. Kaur said. This prompted the researchers to consider a larger cohort to determine the prevalence of these conditions.
