Untersuchungen zur Vitamin C-Versorgung der westdeutschen Bev�lkerung
1959
An einem groserem Personenkreis zweier westdeutscher Stadte wurden Vitamin C-Bestimmungen im Plasma nach der Methode vonRoe undKuether durchgefuhrt. Der Vitamin C-Gehalt im Plasma war bei Frauen durchwegs hoher als bei Mannern und zeigte im Verlauf des Jahres deutliche Schwankungen; die niedrigsten Plasmawerte wurden im Monat Mai, die hochsten dagegen im Monat August gefunden. Auch fur die Vitamin C-Aufnahme ergaben jahreszeitliche Schwankungen, die mit den Schwankungen im Vitamin C-Plasmaspiegel gut ubereinstimmten.
Die Qualität der Hausarzt-Patient-Beziehung. Patientenbezogene Prädiktoren in einer repräsentativen deutschen Bevölkerungsstichprobe
2016
Einleitung: Patientenzentrierung und eine gute Arbeitsallianz sind zentrale Merkmale der hausarztlichen Behandlung. Umfragen zeigen, dass die meisten Deutschen mit der Beziehung zu ihrem Hausarzt zufrieden sind. Jedoch ist offen, welche Faktoren die Qualitat der Beziehung zum Hausarzt beeinflussen. Diese Studie hat daher zum Ziel, patientenbezogene Pradiktoren der Qualitat der Beziehung zwischen Hausarzt und Patient zu identifizieren. Material und Methoden: Personen einer reprasentativen Stichprobe der deutschen Allgemeinbevolkerung wurden im Rahmen einer Querschnittstudie mit standardisierten Fragebogen untersucht. Die Qualitat der Hausarzt-Patient-Beziehung wurde mit der deutschen Version…

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Recent years have witnessed a medicalization of obesity, promoting a classification as a disease or disability in order to reduce or protect against weight stigma and discrimination. This study sought to investigate the public understanding of the disability and disease concepts in obesity, their acceptance, and association with weight stigma. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In a representative German population sample (<i>n</i> = 2,524), public views of obesity as a disease or disability were assessed via a self-report questionnaire. For the assessment of weight stigma, the Weight Control/Blame subscale from the…
Residential magnetic fields as a risk factor for childhood acute leukaemia: Results from a German population-based case-control study
2001
Our objective was to investigate whether exposure to residential power-frequency (50 Hz) magnetic fields above 0.2 μT increases a child's risk of leukaemia and to confirm or reject a finding from a previous German study on this topic, which reported increased leukaemia risk with exposure to stronger magnetic fields during the night. A population-based case-control study was used, covering the whole of the former West Germany. Residential magnetic fields were measured over 24 hr for 514 children with acute leukaemia identified by the German Childhood Cancer Registry and 1,301 control children taken from population registration files. Magnetic fields above 0.2 μT were relatively rare in Germa…

Patientenverfügung: Wahrnehmung und Wirklichkeit
2008
BACKGROUND Knowledge and values prevalent with regard to advanced directive in the general German population have so far not been adequately taken into account as a topic of regulatory initiatives. This leads to unnecessary uncertainty about actual decision-making concerning therapeutic measures. METHODS 95 randomly chosen persons were included in a differentiated, online-supported survey consisting of multiple-choice questions as well as open interview questions, both question types addressing knowledge and values prevalent in our populations concerning advanced health care directives. Multiple choice questions were statistically correlated with open answers addressing the same content and…
Electromagnetic Fields and Childhood Leukemia: Pooled Analyses of Two German Population-Based Case-Control Studies
1999
From 1992 to 1995 we conducted a population-based case-control study on residential magnetic fields and childhood leukemia in Lower Saxony, a region in northwestern Germany with 7.4 million inhabitants.1,2 Because of the rural character of this area, we detected elevated magnetic fields in only 1.5% of all dwellings. We therefore expanded the EMF-measurements to an ongoing case-control study on childhood leukemia in the capital of Germany, Berlin. We applied the same methods of exposure assessment, intending to pool the data of the two studies and to calculate combined risk estimates.3
Proces wrastania autochtonów i przesiedleńców w nową przestrzeń kulturową na Śląsku po II wojnie światowej

In compliance with the resolutions made at the Yalta Conference in 1945, new borders of the post-warPolish state were demarcated and the necessity of displacing the German population from the lands incorporated into Poland was agreed upon. This led to mass-scale displacements of the population from theformer eastern lands of the Second Republic of Poland to the so-called Recovered Territories (or WesternLands), which in turn triggered the exceptionally traumatic process of people’s “growing into” the new space. The author follows this complicated and long-lasting process, using the example of the Opole Region,where two communities co-existed side by side: the displaced and the autochthonous…
Prevalence and overlap of somatic symptom disorder, bodily distress syndrome and fibromyalgia syndrome in the German general population: A cross sect…
2020
Abstract Objective To study the prevalence and clinical characteristics of Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD), Bodily Distress Syndrome (BDS) and fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and their overlap in the general German population. Methods A cross-sectional nationally representative population survey was performed. 2531 participants (mean age 48.8 ± 17.85 years, 53.3% women) completed the Somatic Symptom Scale SSS-8, the Bodily Distress Syndrome (BDS) 25 checklist, the Whiteley Index 7 (WI-7), the self-administered comorbidity questionnaire and the Michigan Body Map. Case definitions of SSD, BDS and FMS were assigned using established criteria. Results 4.5% of participants met the criteria of SSD (SS…
