EUniWell alliance model sets out potential links between work stress and biological ageing
The European University for Well-Being alliance, coordinated by the University of Cologne, has published a model in GeroScience describing possible links between work stress and biological ageing.
Why it matters: Employers seeking to promote staff health are the intended users of the recommendations accompanying the alliance's model.
The European University for Well-Being alliance (EUniWell), which the University of Cologne coordinates, has developed a model describing possible connections between stress at work and biological ageing.

The findings have appeared in the journal GeroScience.
