Unmedicated blood pressure levels and quality of life in elderly hypertensive women
We examined the associations between unmedicated systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) levels and measures of quality of life (QOL). Women (N = 315) ranging in age from 60 to 80 with diagnoses of mild to moderate hypertension were removed from antihypertensive medications and placed on placebo medication in the context of a clinical drug trial. Unmedicated BP levels were measured at the QOL interview, which followed a 4- to 8-week placebo ru…

The Effects of Antihypertensive Therapy on the Quality of Life
We conducted a multicenter randomized double-blind clinical trial among 626 men with mild to moderate hypertension to determine the effects of captopril, methyldopa, and propranolol on their quality of life. Hydrochlorothiazide was added if needed to control blood pressure. After a 24-week treatment period, all three groups had similar blood-pressure control, although fewer patients taking propranolol required hydrochlorothiazide. Patients taking…

The Heart Patient Recovers: Social and Psychological Factors
Subjective Stress and Serious Illness of a Spouse: Wives of Heart Patients
This paper examines stability and change in reported subjective stress during one year among 263 wives whose husbands suffered a first myocardial infarction. Patterns of subjective stress scores remained relatively stable over the study year. Level of severity of illness in the husband had some relationship to stress score at particular points in time, although clear-cut findings did not emerge. Some variations in subjective stress levels were al…
Health beliefs and smoking patterns in heart patients and their wives: A longitudinal study
Smoking patterns of 205 male patients were examined over a period of eight years after a primary myocardial infarction. Smoking data from their wives at one year after the heart attack were also examined. A marked, persistent reduction in smoking was found among the men. Smoking patterns of wives remained essentially unchanged. Smoking patterns before the heart attack were not related to demographic variables, except for the associated between sm…

Denial Among Male Heart Patients: An Empirical Study
Among 345 men under treatment for approximately 3 weeks after a first myocardial infarction, 20% were classified as denying that they had had a heart attack. Deniers and nondeniers of the heart attack were compared with regard to (a) whether there were social and psychologic correlates of the denial response, and (b) other areas to which denial was generalized. A third area examined was the temporal aspect--ie, the manifestation of denial over ti…

Religious Identity and Church Attendance of Sons of Religious Intermarriages
Prior investigations have suggested that offspring of religious intermarriages tend to adopt the religion of the mother. However, studies of religious identity and of the religious practices of these offspring are extremely rare. The present report focuses on both the religious identity and the church attendance of sons of Protestant-Catholic intermarriages. It is based on responses to questionnaires completed by a study population of army induct…
Knowledge of Grandfather's Occupation: Clues to American Kinship Structure
Knowledge of grandfather's occupation was examined as an index of genealogical concern among various segments of American society. In a study population of 1,556 newly inducted soldiers, respondents were found to differ in their knowledge according to their education, their father's social class and occupation, their own mobility aspirations, and their parents' immigration status. These differences are interpreted as a reflecton of basic orientat…
Ethnic Origins, Educational Level, and Responses to a Health Questionnaire
Attitudes toward illness and medicine in various population groups, differential reactions to pain, as well as relationships between social status and types of illness have been examined in a number of studies in recent years. Such research has provided accumulating data on the role of social and cultural elements in perceptions of illness and in the etiology of certain physical and emotional diseases. Evidence from reports of war observations an…
Premarital Pregnancies in Scandinavia and Finland
Rates of premarital pregnancies in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland, calculated from government statistics, are comparatively high in Denmark, Finland, and Sweden. But Norway has a much lower rate. This circumstance, to some degree, calls in question the popular assumption of a common Scandinavian culture. The rates are relatively constant, except for variations during and immediately following war
