The aim of this study was to estimate the Prevalence of stress among 200 women of reproductive age. It‟s a Cross Sectional Study in Sub-Urban Chennai with information‟s on demographic and stress collected by personal interview method using a structured questionnaire from women of age (18-45) years after obtaining the written informed consent. The important findings are Prevalence was 69.5% and Women with younger Age <30 and BMI <25 were found to be at major risk of stress with statistical significance. The prevalence of STRESS in south Chennai women is slightly lesser than those found in earlier studies. We suggest that the „Stressed Women at Risk group for Illness‟ should be identified from the community at the earlier age for health assistance to lead a better quality of life.
