Second, there is a lot of data to suggest that modern living is more stressful than life even a century ago. Many studies, testing for cortisol (stress hormone) in the blood of rural farmers and city folk pretty clearly show that living conditions, regardless of the people who live them, create stress and in ways that those folks can't detect in how they feel. Testing of workers and retirees, children and adults, farmers and city dwellers, desk-jobbers and emergency-room nurses show wide variation in endocrinology and other tests for stress.
