to investigate the influence of positive and negative life events (including daily uplifts and daily hassles) on several biological and lifestyle coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors.
from the Amsterdam Growth and Health Longitudinal Study (AGHLS), a cross-section sample of 207 males and 231 females aged 32/33 years was used.
hardly any associations were found between both positive and negative life events and biological CHD risk factors. On the other hand, daily uplifts and positive life events were positively related to lifestyle. For both positive and negative life events coping behaviour played a role in these relationships. Furthermore, it was shown that the associations of health-related variables with daily uplifts and hassles were comparable to those found for major positive and negative life events.
This study could not fully determine whether or not different mechanisms play a role in the health benefits of positive life events compared to the health burdens of negative life events.
研究正负性生活事件（包括日常愉悦和日常烦恼）对几种生物学及生活方式方面的冠心病（CHD）危险因素的影响。
采用来自阿姆斯特丹生长与健康纵向研究（AGHLS）的一个横断面样本，其中包括207名32/33岁男性和231名32/33岁女性。
几乎未发现正负性生活事件与生物学冠心病危险因素之间存在任何关联。另一方面，日常愉悦和正性生活事件与生活方式呈正相关。对于正负性生活事件而言，应对行为在这些关系中发挥了作用。此外，研究表明，与健康相关的变量与日常愉悦和烦恼之间的关联与在重大正负性生活事件中发现的关联相当。
本研究无法完全确定与负性生活事件带来的健康负担相比，不同机制在正性生活事件对健康的益处中是否发挥作用。
