 note = {P(論文), Data showing the differing rates of cancer (all types), heart attack, and stomach cancer for American and Japanese men and women are reviewed. It is proposed that culture can affect the manifestation of disease in two ways - by dictating how the people within that culture handle their emotions and by possibly focusing attention on a particular part of the anatomy. Traditionally Americans have focused on the heart and are encouraged to express emotion while Japanese have focused on the stomach and have traditionally been encouraged to suppress emotion. Statistic_s show that though Japan has had one of the world's highest rates of stomach cancer, this rate is decreasing. Though, undoubtedly, changing dietary habits and more intensive early detection programs can explain part of this trend, it is suggested that changes in emotional responding may also be having an effect. It is proposed that the more open expression of emotions may be contributing to the rapid increase in the number of heart patients and to the rise in deaths from heart attack. Also discussed is the possibility that the increased consumption of meat may possibly be affecting mood resulting in increased aggressiveness with this also contributing to the increasing rate of heart problems.},
