One in three women who have reported being stalked or who have had to obtain a restraining order appear to be more vulnerable to cardiovascular disease and stroke than peers who have not had the misfortune to suffer such harassment.
That's according to a team from several North American universities and hospitals whose research covering around 66,000 women has been published by the American Heart Association (AHA).
