Depressive Symptoms and Serum Lipid Fractions in Middle-Aged Men
Objective: To investigate alternative hypothetical models that could clarify the relationship between depressive symptoms and serum cholesterol fractions, i.e., high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). It was hypothesized that the impact of the depressive symptoms on cholesterol fractions is mediated through health behavior and body mass index, and at the same time there would be a direct link from depression to cholester…
Sense of Coherence Relates with Smoking
The present study investigated the relationship between sense of coherence (SOC) and smoking. This study is a sub-study of the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial. SOC was assessed with a short form self-report questionnaire at baseline and at two-year follow-up. Smoking behaviour was self-reported at both dates. The sample consisted of 841 hypertensive participants, (women 22.1%) at baseline, and 697 (women 23.0%) participants at the follo…

Anger Expression and Incident Hypertension
OBJECTIVE: It has long been thought that anger is important in the development of essential hypertension. However, tests of this hypothesis have yielded conflicting findings. This study prospectively examined the relationship between anger expression style and incident hypertension in a population sample of middle-aged men. METHODS: Participants were 537 initially normotensive men from eastern Finland, who completed a medical examination and seri…
Hostility and Increased Risk of Mortality and Acute Myocardial Infarction
Cynical hostility has been associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality; yet few studies have investigated this relation in population-based samples, and little is known about underlying mechanisms. This study examined the association between hostility, measured by the eight-item Cynical Distrust Scale, and risk for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and incident myocardial infarction. Subjects were 2,125 men, ages 42-60 y…
Components of Type a Behavior Pattern and Occupational Stressor-Strain Relationship
The authors analyzed empirically the roles of impatience-irritability and ambition-energy components of the Type A behavior pattern (TABP) in the occupational stressor-strain relationship. They tested three models, using a sample of 659 industrial managers to determine whether the TABP components affected strain independently from perceived stressors (the direct effects model); or indirectly, by moderating effects of perceived stressors (the mode…
Hostility and the progression of carotid atherosclerosis
We studied prospectively the association of hostility and anger suppression by the use of ultrasonographically assessed 2-year progression of carotid atherosclerosis (PCA) in a sample of 119 middle-aged men from eastern Finland. Based on measures of cynical distrust, impatience-irritability, anger-in, and anger-control, four variants of hostility-by-anger suppression model were tested with multiple regression analysis. In addition to the previous…
Coping with Inner Feelings and Stress
The authors conducted a population study to assess the relationship between heavy alcohol consumption and alexithymia, defined as difficulty in identifying and expressing feelings. The study sample consisted of 2,297 middle-aged men from eastern Finland. The proportion of men who reported either frequent intoxication or unpleasant aftereffects of heavy drinking increased linearly with alexithymia. Alexithymia and the heavy acute intake of differe…
Cook-Medley Hostility, Anger, and the Type a Behavior Pattern in Finland
According to research, hostility is a reliable predictor of coronary heart disease. Cook-Medley-defined hostility in particular has been seen as a significant precursor of coronary disease. It is important to specify the kind of hostility measured by the Cook-Medley scale. The present study examined the construct validity of the Cook-Medley scale for a sample of 219 university students in Finland, a country with a high incidence of coronary heart…
