Abstract
Prior findings show a correlation between life-events stress and poor physical health. We replicate this association in a sample of 750 participants and demonstrate that the relationship is moderated by dispositional mindfulness. Our results suggest that mindfulness may act as a buffer between stress and the development of poor health.
