A British news report said women aged between 24 and 34 are more stressed than anyone else in the U.K., citing a new study.
According to the report, women at that age are usually climbing the career ladder at work, caring for young kids at home and paying a mortgage.
Sixty-seven percent of the people in the U.K. suffer from stress every week and on average, British people get stressed 208 times a year, according to the study by herbal stress remedy company Kalms which was conducted on 2,000 adults.
Women tend to feel more anxious than men -- more than five times each week, the study found.
Both sexes had similar causes of stress.
About 40 percent of the British people worry about paying their bills and 30 percent, about squeezing all their chores into a busy schedule.
Men are upset more about working long hours, getting stuck in traffic, and being a passenger in a car while their partner is driving, the study found.
