In the United States and Japan, among servicemen and civilians, among pregnant women and the families of leukemia victims, among college athletes and retirees, the same striking pattern was present: those with high life change scores were more likely than their fellows to be ill in the following year. For the first time, it was possible to show in dramatic form that the rate of change in a person’s life—his pace of life—is closely tied to the state of his health.

Dubious conclusion... All correlation and not causation. It's no surprise that health problems are correlated with lots of change because folks in such situations often have harder lives due to poverty, illness, etc Future Shock esque change is a different kind form of change and thus you can't extrapolate (new cultures, new tech, etc)
