“…This is not to deny that some behavioural changes may be health enhancing, and that programmes that sponsor behavioural change can have positive effects on risk factors (see eg. Bennett and Carroll, 1990;Bennett, Wallace, Carroll, and Smith, 1991;Chesney, Black, Swan, and Ward, 1987) and disease end points (see eg. Friedman, Thoresen, Gill, Ulmer, Powell, Price, Brown, Thompson, Rabin, Break Bourg, Levy, and Dixon, 1986).…”

“…Moreover, the life-style after the latter half of the third decade of men, that is, irregular eating habits due to working in an office and influence of the changes of living are assumed to be important factors. For example, increasing stress induces serum lipids to reach undesirable levels (6)(7)(8)(9). It is likely that late-night eating and drinking bring on undesirable levels of serum lipids.…”

Summary Objectives: To improve insight into age and gender related distributions of serum lipids and their correlation with body mass index (BMI). Methods: Serum lipids embracing atherogenic index (AI) and BMI were analyzed from the results obtained in 19,823 men and 14,788 women undergoing a health examination between 1986 and 1996. Results: The changes in total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), AI and BMI differed regarding gender. Although high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) showed a flat pattern for all ages in both genders, its level in women was higher than in men. The ratio of the number in the unsuitable range to those in the suitable range increased with age as to TC in both sexes, then more than half of the population have an unsuitable level in the sixth decade. As for the correlation between serum lipids and BMI: TC, TG and AI correlated positively, but HDL-C correlated negatively. There were significant gaps between both age and gender. Conclusions: We suggest that the normal range of values of serum lipids needs to be revised according to gender and age to evaluate the risk status for a cardio-cerebrovascular disease more precisely in the field of preventive medicine. Simpler guidelines are preferable in specialized care as well as in general practice, particularly since computer technology is not yet universally adapted. In the near future, when computed information technology will be as common as the electricity and the telephone are current on the whole earth, all guidelines will have to be computed on the spot and personally.

“…It is probable that the same numbers would have drowned, although it might be claimed that they would have met their deaths in a more relaxed state and with a more positive frame of mind. In the general context, though, while there is some evidence that stress management training improves well-being in a number of health contexts (see, e.g., Bennett & Carroll, 1990), there have been notable counterindications (Johnston et al, 1993), and there are very few trials of stress management with hard medical outcome measures. It would also appear that the more robust the methodology of trials of stress management, the smaller is the benefit produced (Ebrahim & Davey Smith, 1996).…”

This Special Issue focuses on health variations contingent on socio-economic position. Among the numerous reasons why health psychologists should attend to such variations are their pervasiveness, their magnitude and their continuation into better-off social groups. The latter raises the possibility that psychosocial factors may be involved. Recent data revealing that socio-economic health inequalities have increased in recent years, in parallel with increasing income inequalities in countries such as the UK and USA, provide further reason. Understanding the underlying physical, behavioural and psychosocial mechanisms is clearly an important research mission. However, effective intervention will require structural approaches that directly counter socio-economic disparity.
