From the Paper:

"Several research and studies have been conducted to determine the physiological pathway of stress in our body. The aim is to design solutions and prevention treatments to ward off the negative effects of stress. An example of such study is one conducted by the UCLA (Washington Post, 2003). The study intends to provide information and clues on the bodily effects of stress.
