Can Cardio Risk Check help with stress?

The Cardio Risk Check is a DNA test that analyzes genetic variants associated with cardiovascular risk factors such as cholesterol, blood pressure, and inflammation. It does not directly measure stress. However, genetic predispositions for stress susceptibility or heightened cardiovascular response to stress may be indirectly relevant. The evidence for a direct link between the tested markers and stress is weak. Most studies on stress and genetics are still exploratory, and individual effect sizes are small. Therefore, the test cannot assess your current stress level or provide clinically actionable stress recommendations. It might serve as a piece of a holistic picture, but lifestyle, environment, and psychosocial factors dominate. For stress management, consult a healthcare professional.
