“…Although there are many attempts trying to link emotions such as worry, anger, fear, anxiety, and depressive feelings with the etiology of malignant tumors, it has been difficult to demonstrate specific biological causal links. Nevertheless, studies have shown that altered emotions and psychological distress caused by persistent life-troubling situations may affect several aspects of the lifestyle such as reducing the hours of rest and sleep [ 49 ], modifying diet preferences favoring higher intakes of palatable foods rich in fat and sugar [ 50 ], prompting social isolation and intensifying alcohol and tobacco consumption [ 51 ], and reducing physical activity levels [ 52 ]. All of these lifestyle factors have been shown to affect cancer risk and mortality.…”

Cancer is the second most important non-communicable disease worldwide and disproportionately impacts low- to middle-income countries. Diet in combination with other lifestyle habits seems to modify the risk for some cancers but little is known about South Americans. Food habits of Argentinean men pre- and post-diagnosis of prostate cancer (n = 326) were assessed along with other lifestyle factors. We studied whether any of the behaviors and risk factors for prostate cancer were found in men with other cancers (n = 394), compared with control subjects (n = 629). Before diagnosis, both cases reported a greater mean consumption of meats and fats and lower intakes of fruits, green vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains than the controls (all p < 0.001). After diagnosis, cases significantly reduced the intake of meats and fats, and reported other dietary modifications with increased consumption of fish, fruits (including red fruits in prostate cancer), cruciferous vegetables, legumes, nuts, and black tea (all p < 0.001). Additional lifestyle aspects significantly predominant in cases included a reduced quality of sleep, emotional stress, low physical activity, tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption, living in rural areas, and being exposed to environmental contaminants. Argentinian men were predisposed to modify their unhealthy dietary habits and other lifestyle factors after cancer diagnosis.

“…Compared to externalizing developmental pathways, the role of internalizing pathways in the development of AUDs has been little researched (Hussong et al, 2011). Although internalizing symptoms or disorders are often concomitants with alcohol use problems or disorders in cross-sectional research (e.g., Burns and Teesson, 2002; Hasin et al, 2007; Kessler et al, 2005), prospective studies on the risk posed by internalizing tendencies or disorders on future alcohol use problems or AUDs have produced mixed findings (Boschloo et al, 2013; Buckner et al, 2008; Buckner and Turner, 2009; Crum and Pratt, 2001; Elkins et al, 2006; Gilman and Abraham, 2001; Grekin et al, 2006; Kushner et al., 1999; Trautmann et al, 2015; Zimmermann et al, 2003). …”

Background The developmental pathways associated with an enhanced risk for future alcohol use disorders (AUDs) continue to be a topic of both interest and debate. In this research, internalizing and externalizing disorders were evaluated as prospective predictors of the index AUD episode onset, separately within three developmental periods: early-to-middle adolescence (age 13.0 to 17.9), late adolescence (18.0 to 20.9), and early adulthood (21.0 to 30.0). Methods Participants (N = 816) were initially randomly selected from nine high schools in western Oregon and subsequently interviewed on four separate occasions between ages 16 and 30, during which current and past AUDs were assessed as well as a full range of psychiatric disorders associated with internalizing and externalizing psychopathology domains. Results In adjusted analyses for each of the three developmental periods investigated, externalizing domain psychopathology from the most proximal adjoining developmental period predicted time to AUD onset. Distal externalizing psychopathology also predicted time to AUD onset among early adult onset cases. Proximal or distal internalizing psychopathology, in comparison, was not found to be a significant predictor of AUD onset in adjusted analyses for any of the developmental periods examined. Conclusions Findings overall suggest that externalizing developmental histories are robust predictors of AUD onset within the age range during which index episodes are most likely to occur, and that gender does not moderate this association.

“…IS is a term describing conditions where an individual focuses problems inwards and include symptoms of social withdrawal, anxiety and depression (Achenbach & McConaughy, 1992). The two phenotypes often co-occur and the presence of either generally results in a 2–4x increased odds of having the other, as compared to individuals without either (Costello et al, 2003; Lewinsohn et al, 1998; Trautman et al, 2015). AP and IS each presents a health problem on its own, but when the two co-occur, it can result in increased severity of symptoms, increased risk of suicide, less adaptive functioning and less effective treatment (Jackson et al, 2005; Rao, 2006; Subramaniam et al, 2007).…”

Background Alcohol problems and internalising symptoms are consistently found to be associated but how they relate to each other is unclear. Objective The present study aimed to address limitations in the literature of comorbidity of alcohol problems and internalising symptoms by investigating the direction of effect between the phenotypes and possible gender differences in college students. Method We utilised data from a large longitudinal study of college students from the United States (N=2607). Three waves of questionnaire-based data were collected over the first two years of college (in 2011–2013). Cross-lagged models were applied to examine the possible direction of effect of internalising symptoms and alcohol problems. Possible effects of gender were investigated using multigroup modelling. Results There were significant correlations between alcohol problems and internalising symptoms. A direction of effect was found between alcohol problems and internalising symptoms but differed between genders. A unidirectional relationship varying with age was identified for males where alcohol problems initially predicted internalising symptoms followed by internalising symptoms predicting alcohol problems. For females, a unidirectional relationship existed wherein alcohol problems predicted internalising symptoms. Conclusions/Importance We conclude that the relationship between alcohol problems and internalising symptoms is complex and differ between genders. In males, both phenotypes are predictive of each other, while in females the relationship is driven by alcohol problems. Importantly, our study examines a population-based sample, revealing that the observed relationships between alcohol problems and internalising symptoms are not limited to individuals with clinically diagnosed mental health or substance use problems.
