Smoking, alcohol consumption, and susceptibility to the common cold
OBJECTIVES. This study was conducted to test the supposition that both smoking and consuming alcohol suppress host resistance to viral infections. METHODS. The relations between smoking, alcohol consumption, and the incidence of documented clinical colds were prospectively studied among 391 subjects intentionally exposed to one of five respiratory viruses and 26 subjects given saline. Clinical colds were defined as clinical symptoms verified by t…
Negative life events, perceived stress, negative affect, and susceptibility to the common cold
After completing questionnaires assessing stressful life events, perceived stress, and negative affect, 394 healthy Ss were intentionally exposed to a common cold virus, quarantined, and monitored for the development of biologically verified++ clinical illness. Consistent with the hypothesis that psychological stress increases susceptibility to infectious agents, higher scores on each of the 3 stress scales were associated with greater risk of de…
Selective effects of minor illnesses on human performance
The study reported here examined the effects of experimentally induced minor illnesses (colds and influenza) on the efficiency of human performance. Influenza impaired the ability to detect and respond quickly to stimuli appearing at irregular intervals, but had no effect on a task requiring hand–eye coordination. In contrast to this, colds impaired hand‐eye coordination but had little effect on the detection tasks. These results are of great pra…
Trial of an oral bacterial antigen against common colds
An Investigation into Differences in Respiratory Illness in Overseas and UK Students
It has been suggested that overseas students may have a worse experience of respiratory illness while in the United Kingdom than students from the United Kingdom itself. If this were so it might be due to infection of overseas students with viruses to which United Kingdom students are, by adult age, immune, or because of differences in living con- ditions between the two groups of students in the United Kingdom
