Women are not immune
Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
By Lawrence Lamb, M l).
DEAR DR LAMB We
hear a lot about risk factors
causing heart attacks You
have mentioned it in your
column What is the most
important factor that increas-
es your risk of heart attacks
and strokes? I understand that
women, at least until they are
older, are free from heart
disease, so does that mean I
don't have to worry about risk
factors hut my husband does?
Is there any real evidence
that the risk (actors are relal
ed to the amount of disease
You
you have in your arteries''
DEAR READER
have asked me a terrible
question It is like asking
which is worse, cancer of the
liver or cancer of the lungs
All of the major risk factors
are very important in
decreasing your chances of
having arterial disease that
can cause heart attacks and
strokes
The three big risk factors
that you can do something
about are cigarette smoking,
high blood pressure and high
cholesterol levels One of the
factors believed to be associ-
hospitals

At Wit's End
By Erma Bom beck
Yoy think America has come a long way toward
finding a cure for the diseases that plague our society
until you remember that summer is approaching and
we are in for another epidemic of “There’s nothing to
do.”
“There’s nothing to do” is a form of terminal
boredom that strikes children from the ages 2-17,
from every economic level in the United States. With
some children, it’s sporadic throughout the year, but
on the last day of school, there is not a child in North
America who is not afflicted.
The malady is characterized by a whining that
starts in the back of the throat and slowly works its
way up through the nasal passage and out. Victims
never suffer in silence. They entwine themselves
around your leg, throw themselves on the bed or on
the hood of a car, or call you at the office where you
work.
Offering suggestions for “something to do” only
aggravates the condition. I have the unique distinc-
tion of having given birth to three poster children for
“There’s nothing to do.”
In an attempt to alleviate their discomfort, I ad-
vised them to: Clean up your room, hose out the
garbage cans, cut the grass, take the bottles back to
the store, carry out the trash, clean out the hamster
cage, sweep out the garage, set the table, clean out
the fireplace, go to the store for milk, write thank-you
notes for Christmas.
I should never have done that. They became quite
hostile and lapsed into a coma in front of the TV set
for five days.
One of the most tragic side effects of “There’s
nothing to do” is mothers. I’ve seen some of them in a
given summer drop like flies from the pressures of
dealing with the disease. I used to work with a woman
who answered her phone every 15 minutes during
June, July and August and shouted, “Do not put the
doggie in the oven, Bruce. It will make him mean. I
know you are bored. Why don’t you let Mommy put a
stamp on your forehead and mail you to cousin
Grace?”
In the name of all that is compassionate, I am
putting together a telethon for mothers of children
with “There’s nothing to do.” There is much research
to be done on why a child with $4,000 worth of toys is
afflicted and how long a mother can put up with it
until she snaps.
All donations are tax deductible and go toward
sending a mother to a summer camp where — there’s
nothing to do.

As it explains, studies have
shown that the amount of
fatty-cholesterol deposits in
the arteries correlates well
with your score on the risk
factors
Now, if I must single out
one risk factor it would be
cigarette smoking Heavy
smoking alone accounts for an
8-year decrease in life expect
ancy in men Some good stud
ies suggest that the increase
and decrease in heart attacks
In the United States parallel
the changes in smoking Such
a decrease in heart attacks
has not been observed yet in
other industrial countries and
they have not had the
decrease in cigarette smoking
that has occurred in American
men
DEAR DR LAMB - I read
your column on snoring and
would like to make a sugges
tion When I got married for
the second time this was a
severe problem. I solved it by
buying a sleep machine 1
placed the machine on the
night table and soon 1 was no
longer bothered by my
husbandssnoring
DEAR READER - A very
good suggestion You used the
principle of masking the
noise Any disturbing noise
can be masked by other
sounds Have you ever noticed
how much louder conversa-
tion is if the room is absolute-
ly quiet’
There are a number of such
sleep devices; some produce
sounds of the ocean A simple
test is to tune your FM radio
between stations and turn it
up so the background noise is
constant That even helps peo-
ple who have ringing and
noises in the ears when they
try to sleep With a suitable
level of constant noise in the
background a person may not
even notice someone snoring

of Consumer Report*
DEAR CONSUMER
REPORTS 1 want to pur
chase an exercise bicycle
How do I distinguish between
the many brands and models"
What should I look for in an
exerciser’ What attachments
are worthwhile’
DEAR READER When we
tested them, we found pedal
action exercise machines ista
tionary bicycles) better for
the cardiovascular system
than “triple-action” models on
which the seat and handlebars
moved as the pedals are
pushed The pedal-only devic-
es with variable-resistance
controls gave better quality
exercise, and the best model-
we tested were of this type
The multi-action models we
tested were just gadgets for
limbering up
Before you buy an exercise
bicycle, be sure that you can
adjust the seat height so that
the seat-to-pedal distance is
two inches more than your
inseam (crotch to floor) If the
seat can’t be adjusted to your
proper height, you will not
exercise your leg muscles
efficiently Make sure that the
clamp bolt will hold the seat
firmly in position Foot straps
on the pedal can reduce pedal-
ing fatigue and keep feet from
slipping off. Unless you
require a precisely repro-
duced exercise program (such
as one prescribed by a
doctor), don’t worry about
precision in the resistance-
controls
DEAR CONSUMER
REPORTS I received a new
convection oven as a gift Two
of my friends who used to own
convection ovens returned
them because they said that
using the ovens raised their
electric bill I don’t want to
use mine if it will increase my
electricity usage that much I
thought these ovens were sup-
posed to save energy Don’t
they’
DEAR READER When we
tested convection ovens, we
found that overall, a self-
deaning General Electric
range used less energy than
any of the convection models
Nevertheless, we would not
think that the use of a convec-
tion oven would cause a sig
mficant change in one’s elec
trie bill
A counter-top convection
oven is an expensive supple-
ment to a regular range oven,
and for small jobs (heating a
frozen dinner or baking a few
potatoes) a toaster oven or
counter-top broiler oven
might do the job as easily and
more efficiently

did rather well No* all aeit
year’s cheerleaders wait to
he wrestliag cheerleaders
aad ooue of the girls waits
to cheer for the basketball
teams
Tke adviser for the
cheerleaders has made a
rule that the cheerleaders
must cheer for both basket-
ball teams and tbe wrestling
team at all home games aad
matches Now the wrestliag
learn won’t have any
cheerleaders at away
matches. Do you think this is
right? Please print my letter
for all the school to see.
P.S. Tbe cheerleaders
waat to cheer only for the

John Cheering for a team
should not be based on tbe
team’s win-loss record In
fact, the team with the poor-

most student body support
The basketball teams
should have the same
cheerleader support as the
wrestling team No more, no
less Under tbe circum-
stances the adviser took the
right action When I was a

a school where the student
body was almost 3,000 this
