Worries and Health in Adolescence: A Latent Variable Approach.

Spruijt-Metz, Donna; Spruijt, Rob J.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v26 n4 p485-501 Aug 1997

Worries of Dutch adolescents were studied and their most often reported health symptoms were ranked in a sample of 416 high school students. Gender differences were a question of degree rather than structure, and psychosocial well-being explained 77% of the variance in physiological status. Implications for health education are discussed.
