"Individuals who experience low levels of stress for their entire lives operate at a daily baseline that is closer to a chronic stress state, and, as a result, experience health complications at a higher rate."
Confused. Should it be "Individuals who experience *high* levels of stress?"
not exactly, but, yes, that word "low" can be confusing. The use of the word "low" was to imply that even constant, "background noise", levels of daily stress (e.g. microaggressions, small acts of discrimination, etc.) can have long-term impacts.
It was "low" vs. "no"; not "low" vs. "high". But I can see why that is confusing so thanks for calling this out! I edited to it to take out the word "low".
