A sample of 1'838 school children of Basle, aged 8 to 14 years, who were examined by dentists of the school dental health service, attended at the same time a 24 hour recall interview on nutritional habits. The data show that absence of caries (among 448 or 24,4% of all) is more frequent within those children who prefer fruits instead of sugar containing sweets with and especially between the meals. Since school children are not able to distinguish well between sugar- and non-sugar containing sweets and drinks, health education on such subjects is emphasised.
A mailed questionnaire was sent to all sickness-insurances on the subject of breast-feeding premium. 52% of the insurances replied, representing 90% of all insured persons. In 1976 23% of the mothers received the premium, in 1977 27%. This figure increased, as the membership of the insurances decreased. It is therefore thought, that mothers are not properly informed on this subject.
Two hundred workers of the Swiss watch industry were examined in a study of repetitive work effects on the well-being of workers. Repetitive work has shown to have two main influences on well-being: Relationships were found between subjective assessment of variety and autonomy, job satisfaction, psychosomatic complaints and headache. Repetitive work was always done under some positional constraint. This was shown to result in an increased rate of "arm, neck, shoulder syndrome" and visual problems.
