“…In addition to suicide and depression, the tangible effects of day of the week (i.e., Monday) on health have also been consistently confirmed in cardiovascular health studies (Capodaglio, Gallerani, Fedeli, & Manfredini, ; Manfredini et al., ; Peters, McQuillan, Resnick, & Gold, ). Although the biological mechanisms have not been fully elucidated, bidirectional relationships among stress, anxiety, and depression have been proposed to explain the frequent onset of cardiovascular events on Mondays (Bodis, Boncz, & Kriszbacher, ; Patel et al., ; Thurston, Rewak, & Kubzansky, ; Tully, Cosh, & Baune, ).…”

Many studies have reported that suicides tend to occur on Mondays. However, owing to a lack of controls, conclusive findings on the potential effects of a day of the week on suicides have been lacking. We analyzed public data for causes of death from 1997 to 2015 in the Republic of Korea. Accidental death was used as a control group. The probability of suicide on each day of the week according to age group was calculated. A total of 377,204 deaths (188,601 suicides and 188,603 accidental deaths) were used. The frequency of suicide was highest on Monday and decreased throughout the week until Saturday. Accidental death was highest on Saturday and showed no variations according to weekday. For people in their teens and 20s, the probabilities of suicide on Monday were 9% and 10% higher, respectively, than those on Sunday. As age increased, the differences in suicide probability according to the day of the week were attenuated. The so-called Blue Monday effect is real, particularly for people in their teens and 20s. Suicide prevention strategies that aim to attenuate the burden and stress of Mondays should be planned.

“…Study results have indicated that occupational stress has a significant effect on psychological distress (Klainin 2009) and has been linked to coronary heart disease (Inoue et al 2009). Lasting work-related stress is generally considered to be a fundamental risk factor for triggering acute myocardial infarction (Bodis et al 2010). In the workplace, job stress is also a serious issue that can lead to physical and emotional problems.…”

“…Mood may also influence alterations in autonomic nervous system and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis functioning (8,40), which influence cardiovascular reactivity (41Y44), inflammation (45,46), platelet activation (47,48), endothelial dysfunction (49Y51), and hemostasis (52,53), mechanisms involved in the development of atherosclerosis. Later in the development of CHD, mood states may have powerful short-term effects on coronary events; acute negative mood states can trigger silent ischemia (54) or myocardial infarction (55,56).…”

Objective: Retrospective assessments of negative mood have predicted coronary artery disease development and progression. Using momentary assessment, we evaluated associations between average positive and negative mood states and diurnal mood patterns, with prevalent and incident coronary artery calcification (CAC), a measure of calcified atherosclerosis. Methods: In a prospective cohort study of 669 white and African American men and women, aged 33 to 45 years, from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study, mood was assessed at Year 15 examination, six times over a weekday. Prevalent, progressive, and 5-year incident CAC (any detectable CAC [score 90]) and substantial CAC (CAC score Q 20) were assessed at examinations at Years 15 and 20 by electronbeam tomographic scans. We employed a modified Poisson regression approach for binary data with robust error estimation to quantify relative risk. Results: In multivariate-adjusted analyses, those with high-average positive mood that improved over a day had a lower risk of prevalent CAC higher than 0 (relative risk [RR] = 0.17 [95% confidence interval {CI} = 0.04Y0.67]) and substantial CAC (RR = 0.25 [95% CI = 0.06Y0.95]). In contrast, those with high-average, increasingly negative mood over a day had a higher risk of prevalent CAC (RR = 1.85 [95% CI = 0.86Y3.99]) and substantial CAC (RR = 3.11 [95% CI = 1.29Y7.49]). Findings were similar for progressive CAC at Year 20. This pattern of high/worsening negative mood (not positive mood) during the day was also predictive of 5-year incident CAC (RR = 2.99 [95% CI = 1.00Y8.93]). Conclusions: Diurnal mood patterns were associated with the progression of calcified atherosclerosis, with negative mood predicting greater progression and positive mood predicting lower progression. Key words: coronary artery disease, coronary calcification, positive and negative affect, diurnal trajectory. CAC = coronary artery calcification; CARDIA = Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults; CES-D = Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale; CHD = coronary heart disease; EBT = electron-beam tomography; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; LDL = low-density lipoprotein; RR = relative risk; SBP = systolic blood pressure.
