Students' attitudes toward university health services.

This study measured students' attitudes toward a university's student health services (SHS) and identified factors that were related to their attitudes. A questionnaire surveying students' attitudes was administered to a sample of 150 students at the Oxford Campus of the University of Mississippi. Analysis of the data revealed that students' attitudes had a statistically significant correlation with the following variables: perceived medical care cost, amount of health information/education received during medical encounters, time spent in the waiting room of the SHS, sex of the student, and income of the student. There was no significant relationship between attitude and age.

Fruit and vegetable consumption and cardiovascular mortality.

A steady fall in mortality rates from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) has been reported recently in the United States. This study tests the hypothesis that fruits and vegetables had a protective effect against cardiovascular mortality among the American population from 1964-78. Special attention was focused on more specific groups of fruits and vegetables, especially those rich in vitamin C, to examine the effect of consumption of these foods on cardiovascular mortality rates. These data showed that the consumption of fruits and vegetables, particularly those rich in vitamin C (based on content and consumption), may have offered a protective effect against deaths from CVD. Increased fruit and vegetable consumption appeared to contribute significantly to the reduction of CVD mortality in the American population in recent years.
