Title: Smoking, Personality and Stress: Psychosocial Factors in the Prevention of Cancer and Coronary Heart Disease.
Description: New York Springer-Verlag, 1991. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), figures, tables, top edge foxed, minor edgewear, owner's written name title page. 130 pp. It is often suggested that cancer and coronary heart disease (CHD) can be reduced or even eliminated if only people would stop smoking cigarettes and eat fewer high-cholesterol foods. According to Hans Eysenck, however, the evidence shows that such views are simplistic and unrealistic. Instead, cancer and CHD are the product of many risk factors acting synergistically. Claims psychosocial factors (stress, personality) are six times as predictive as smoking, cholesterol level or blood pressure. (The quality of the data presented here in support, however, has recently been disputed.). ISBN: 0387974938
