## In brief

- A new study from the University of Eastern Finland finds perceived stress is more strongly associated with poorer health-related quality of life in adults with two or more chronic conditions than in those without chronic conditions.
- The association is described as stronger among people with multiple chronic conditions, based on the study's reported findings.
- The source reports the association but does not give further details on sample size or methods.

## Why it matters

Stress appears to weigh more heavily on quality of life for people managing several chronic conditions, which may matter for how clinicians and researchers think about stress in multimorbidity care.
