STUDY OBJECTIVE
To investigate the association, if any, between negative social events and physical illness.
DESIGN
Comparison of major social events and indices of disease. SETTING-Hong Kong, 1962 to 1985.
SUBJECTS
Patients treated in hospital for attempted suicide, coronary heart disease, and diabetes mellitus.
MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS
Major events were selected from the annual Hong Kong Year Book, and grouped in one of 18 categories by a panel of 10 assessors. Weights were assigned to each category according the likely stress produced. Individual events were then scored and multiplied by the category weights to produce an overall stress score from which a total stress score for each year was derived. Annual stress scores were then compared with hospital attendance rates for the three medical conditions.
CONCLUSIONS
The study has shown that: (1) the stress induced in the community by major negative social events in Hong Kong had been increasing; and (2) this stress is associated with attempted suicide but not with diabetes mellitus or coronary heart disease.
研究目的
调查负面社会事件与身体疾病之间是否存在关联。
设计
主要社会事件与疾病指标的比较。地点——香港，1962年至1985年。
研究对象
因自杀未遂、冠心病和糖尿病而住院治疗的患者。
测量方法及主要结果
主要事件选自《香港年鉴》年度刊，由10名评估员组成的小组将其归为18类中的一类。根据可能产生的压力为每一类赋予权重。然后对单个事件进行评分，并乘以类别权重，得出总体压力得分，进而得出每年的总压力得分。然后将年度压力得分与这三种疾病的住院率进行比较。
结论
该研究表明：（1）香港重大负面社会事件在社区中引发的压力一直在增加；（2）这种压力与自杀未遂有关，但与糖尿病或冠心病无关。
