title: [A/B type behavior in relation to changes in the ocular background in juvenile diabetics].
abstract: Within a broadly conceived interdisciplinary project pertaining to some specific problems of the psychology of health (preventive psychology) attention was focused also on an analysis of interrelations of A/B type of behaviour and juvenile diabetes. The methodological basis were the results, reported in the work of Skorodenský, Králiková et al in 1988 in the Journal Cs. Pediatrie (1). The results of this work confirmed that the Hunter-Wolf scale (for more details of the scale see ref. 1) relevantly divided the group of somatically healthy children into type A and B and that its retrospective discriminating capacity is adequate as regards biochemical, physiological and anthropometric values (specified as risk factors of IHD in adults). Children in Part A of the scale tended to have a higher score of the above risk factors, leading later in adult age to the development of IHD. Obviously only longitudinal perspective research of a selected sample of children can confirm definitely or rule out this assumption.
