Sickness and preventive medical behavior
Journal of Health Economics, 2003Using data from two sources, the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), I analyze the relationship between health status and the likelihood of engaging in medical screening and other preventive behavior.

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1991
Dogs and cats that are ill with febrile diseases usually are depressed and anorexic. When viewed from the standpoint of the wild ancestors, it is apparent that the behavior of sick animals is adaptive and not necessarily a reflection of debilitation. A wild animal that is acutely ill with an infectious disease often is at a life-or-death juncture, and ...

Social context modulates sickness behavior
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2012Sickness behaviors constitute an array of symptoms exhibited by an animal during the course of an infection, including reduced activity, reduced food and water intake, and reduced social interactions. It is hypothesized that these symptoms enable reallocation of finite energy resources to fight infection.

Postural Behaviour and Motion Sickness
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1975One of the acting techniques used in Kyogen, a classical Japanese stage comedy, prompted two questions: why is it that one may suffer from motion sickness as a car passenger, but, as a driver, escape its effects? And how can one learn postural adjustment against motion sickness by repeatedly travelling in vehicles?

Behavioral conditioning and experimental motion-induced sickness
American Journal of Otolaryngology, 1985Adult male squirrel monkeys were the subjects of experiments conducted to determine whether or not repeated exposures to sickness-inducing horizontal rotation would result in behavioral conditioning of emetic responses. The development of conditioned food aversion and feeding suppression as a consequence of pre- and postrotation eating was quantified ...

Sickness behavior, its mechanisms and significance
Animal Health Research Reviews, 2008AbstractRecent studies have begun to clarify the pathogenesis of sickness behavior. Cytokines released by macrophages, dendritic cells and mast cells act on the brain to trigger behavioral changes in infected animals. The major cytokines, interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and others, all act on the hypothalamus to provoke alterations in the ...

Sickness behavior is delayed in hypothyroid mice
Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, 2015Sickness behavior is an expression of a motivational state triggered by activation of the peripheral innate immune system, whereby an organism reprioritizes its functions to fight infection. The relationship between thyroid hormone and immune cells is complex, and additional insights are needed about the involvement of the cross-talk between thyroid ...

Human sickness behavior: Ultimate and proximate explanations
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2015ABSTRACTSickness behavior, a coordinated set of behavioral changes in response to infection, lies at the intersection of immunology, endocrinology, and evolutionary biology. Sickness behavior is elicited by pro‐inflammatory cytokines, is thought to be an adaptive means of redirecting energy away from disadvantageous behaviors and toward mounting an ...

Sickness Behavior Clustering in Children With Cancer
Journal of Pediatric Oncology Nursing, 2011Despite knowing that pediatric cancer patients experience multiple concurrent symptoms, most research focuses on individual symptoms. This study is a secondary data analysis from previous research evaluating symptom clusters and carnitine plasma levels in 67 children and adolescents aged between 7 and 18 years, before and after receiving ifosfamide ...
