OBJECTIVES. This study sought to relate preexisting depression, worries, affect balance, and mental health symptoms to subsequent risk of morbidity and mortality. METHODS. A random sample of members of a health maintenance organization were interviewed at home in a 1970/71 survey. Baseline psychological measures from that survey were then related to 15-year mortality and first incidence of cancer, heart disease, hypertension, stroke, functional gastrointestinal disease, and hyperimmune diseases. RESULTS. Baseline depression and the Langner Mental Health Index predicted incidence of functional gastrointestinal and hyperimmune diseases. The relationship of the Langner index to hyperimmune diseases was particularly strong; mortality, cancer, heart disease, hypertension, and stroke incidence were not related to that index. Except for affect balance, which was worst in the elderly, indications of psychological dysfunction were strongest in the young. CONCLUSIONS. Psychological indices detected increased risk for functional gastrointestinal and hyperimmune diseases but were not related to mortality risk. Further research is needed to disaggregate relationships of the specific conditions that were included in the hyperimmune group. Functional gastrointestinal disease might be preventable with early attention to depressed persons and to those scoring high on the Langner index
