摘要
Objective: Chronic stress has been associated with impaired response to influenza vaccination in the elderly. This study investigated whether mild, intermittent stress experienced by young, healthy adults has a similar effect. Methods: Antibody and psychological status were determined prevaccination and 5 weeks and 5 months later; a fourfold increase in antibody to at least one viral strain was considered protective. Results: At 5 months, unprotected participants reported significantly more life events and tended to report more perceived stress than those who were protected. Conclusion: Psychological stress is detrimental to long-term maintenance of antibody levels following vaccination in young, healthy adults. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
