A transdiagnostic approach to investigate of the relationships between anxiety sensitivity and health anxiety: the mediated roles of distress tolerance and emotion regulation

AS plays a crucial role in predisposing individuals to HA. The mediating roles of DT and ER provide insight into the link between AS and HA. Nevertheless, the study's cross-sectional design and reliance on a non-clinical sample limit the applicability of the results. Further research involving different samples and intervention studies is needed to validate and expand upon these findings.
