Attenuated cardiovascular reactivity to acute psychological stress predicts future fatigue symptoms in truck drivers

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the impact of a 6-month health intervention on truck drivers’ CVR to stress and whether CVR was predictive of depression, anxiety, or fatigue symptoms at 6-months follow-up. Methods: 238 truck drivers completed a 6-month cluster RCT to increase physical ac...
