In response to the growing burden of obesity, public primary prevention programs against obesity have been widely recommended. Several studies have estimated the cost-effectiveness of diabetes-prevention trials for different countries. Nevertheless, it is still controversial if prevention conducted in more real-world settings and among people with increased risk but not yet exhibiting increased glucose ...

Loneliness is a subjective experience characterized by the distress that accompanies a perceived deficit in social relationship quantity and especially quality. Feelings of loneliness increase risk for morbidity and mortality, and these health costs are particularly evident in older age and as lonely feelings persist over time. The scope of the problem of loneliness in older age is not yet well understood, ...

This paper examines whether the self-assessed risk attitude predicts individual choice under risk in a field study on a sample of more than 200 Chinese farmers. Farmers’ self-assessed risk attitudes are elicited by the widely used German socio-economic panel (SOEP) general risk question. Individual choice in the Bomb Risk Elicitation Task (BRET) is tested. Results show that the self-assessed willingness ...

This paper partly revises the dynamic equilibrium (DE) theory of subjective wellbeing (SWB), sometimes termed set point theory. Results from four national panel surveys show that correlations among measures of SWB diminish over time, and that the SWB set points of a minority of individuals substantially change. These results mean that DE theory requires revision to make it more dynamic and enable it ...

An adequate theory of happiness or subjective well-being (SWB) needs to link at least three sets of variables: stable person characteristics (including personality traits), life events and measures of well-being (life satisfaction, positive affects) and ill-being (anxiety, depression, negative affects). It also needs to be based on long term data in order to account for long term change in SWB. By ...

Set-point theory has dominated the field of subjective well-being (SWB). It has served as a classic Kuhn research paradigm, being extended and refined for thirty years to take in new results. The central plank of the theory is that adult set-points do not change, except just temporarily in the face of major life events. There was always some ‘discordant data’, including evidence that some events are ...
