    Notes: In Denmark the life expectancy of women has been declining since 1980, and is now the lowest of all OECD countries. Based upon analyses of the different trends in mortality of 35–64-year-old women in Denmark compared to women in Norway and Sweden, national differentials in external determinants of morbidity and premature mortality are described. The excess mortality of women in Denmark is linked to lifestyle factors: tobacco smoking, alcohol and drug consumption. We discuss the possible impact of other external factors: full-time employment, work load, job insecurity, unemployment, single motherhood, and social isolation. The main hypothesis is that the daily life of women in Denmark has deteriorated over the years, and that changes in lifestyle and behaviour in part can be explained by evolved strategies in order to cope with anxiety and strain. Contrary to conditions in Sweden, the welfare system in Denmark has not facilitated the combination of child-bearing and paid work. The analysis points to the importance of including data of external stressors in discussions of national variances in lifestyle factors linked to premature mortality.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In einigen Fällen vom Syndrom des plötzlichen Säuglingstodes (SIDS) wurde befunden, daß die Darmflora vonCandida albicans dominiert war. Mikrobiologische Untersuchungen der verschiedenen Organe zeigten gelegentlich Vorkommen von verschiedenen Candida-Arten, aber nicht in der Form von massivem Wachstum wie bei Sepsis. Es besteht kein Grund zur Annahme, daß die Wirksamkeit von Hefen, in erster Linie vonCandida albicans, ein mitwirkender Faktor beim Vorkommen von SIDS ist. Es wurde festgestellt, daßCandida albicans Alkohol aus Glukose in einer Geschwindigkeit von höchstens 1 mg Alkohol pro Gramm Darminhalt je Stunde produziert. Daraus wird gefolgert, daß die Darmproduktion von Alkohol in vivo in Fällen, die eine vonCandida albicans dominierte Darmflora aufweisen, die normale alkoholmetabolisierende Fähigkeit der Leber nicht übertreffen wird. Meßbare Konzentrationen von Alkohol im Blut sind daher in solchen Fällen nicht zu erwarten.[/ p]
    Notes: Summary In some cases of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) the intestinal flora was found to be dominated byCandida albicans. Microbiologic investigations of the various organs showed the occasional presence of different Candida species, but not in the form of massive growth as in sepsis. There is no basis to assume that the activity of yeasts, first of all ofCandida albicans, is a contributory factor in the occurrence of SIDS. Candida albicans was shown to produce alcohol from glucose at a rate of maximally 1 mg of alcohol per gram of intestinal content per hour. It is concluded that the intestinal production of alcohol in vivo from cases showing aCandida albicans dominated intestinal flora will not be able to surpass the normal alcohol metabolizing capacity of the liver. Thus, measurable concentrations of alcohol in the blood from such cases cannot be expected.
