This study was concerned with whether Medical Conspiracy Theories (MCTs), along with other variables (demographics, ideology and health perceptions) are associated with Modern Health Worries (MHWs). MCTs were significantly associated with MHWs over and above all other variables. Older individuals, with more religious and right-wing beliefs had higher MHWs. In addition, those who used Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) and individuals who perceived their mental health as worse than their peers were also more likely to display higher MHWs. Implications for helping health professions understand their patients' health-related beliefs and choices were discussed.
本研究关注医学阴谋论（MCTs）以及其他变量（人口统计学、意识形态和健康认知）是否与现代健康担忧（MHWs）相关。在所有其他变量之外，医学阴谋论与现代健康担忧显著相关。年龄较大、有更多宗教和右翼信仰的个体有更高的现代健康担忧。此外，使用补充和替代医学（CAM）的人以及认为自己心理健康状况比同龄人差的个体也更有可能表现出更高的现代健康担忧。文中讨论了这对于帮助医疗专业人员理解患者与健康相关的信念和选择的意义。
