Researchers compared women with children on the autism spectrum and their stress levels. The researchers found that women who showed symptoms of clinical depression had lower levels of Klotho- an anti-ageing factor in their blood than those who were under stress but not depression. Klotho is an important link between chronic stress and premature disease and death. However, the study does not establish a link between low Klotho levels and high-stress levels but this study can help discover ways to tackle ageing, mental health and age-related diseases.
