  • Interactive Effects of Race and Depressive Symptoms on Calcification in African American and White Women

    Tené T Lewis, Susan A Everson‐rose et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2009

    OBJECTIVE: To examine the cross-sectional associations among race, depressive symptoms, and aortic and coronary calcification in a sample of middle-aged women. Depressive symptoms have been associated with atherosclerotic indicators of coronary heart disease (CHD) in white women. Few studies have examined these associations in samples including African American women, or explored whether any observed associations differ by race. METHODS: Particip…

  • Chronic Exposure to Everyday Discrimination and Coronary Artery Calcification in African-American Women: The SWAN Heart Study

    Tené T Lewis, Susan A Everson‐rose et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2006Cited by: 115References: 17

    Chronic exposure to discrimination may be an important risk factor for early coronary calcification in African-American women. This association appears to be driven by exposure to discrimination from multiple sources, rather than exposure to racial/ethnic discrimination alone

  • Psychosocial Stress and Cardiovascular Risk: What is the Role of Daily Experience

    Open AccessThomas W Kamarck, J E Schwartz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2005

    We describe an ecological momentary assessment (EMA) protocol designed to measure daily life experiences along several psychosocial dimensions (Social Conflict, Task Demand, Decisional Control, Negative Affect, and Arousal) hypothesized to be relevant for cardiovascular disease risk. In a large community sample, these assessments have been administered in conjunction with ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring and measures of subclinical card…

  • Optimistic Attitudes Protect Against Progression of Carotid Atherosclerosis in Healthy Middle-Aged Women

    Karen A Matthews, Katri Räikkönen et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2004

    OBJECTIVE: Optimistic people report a higher quality of life, engage in more active coping and adopt more health-promoting behaviors than people low in optimism, ie, pessimism. We evaluated whether pessimists are more likely to show progression in carotid disease than optimists. METHODS: A total of 209 middle-aged healthy premenopausal women enrolled in an epidemiological study of cardiovascular risk factors and had carotid scans 10.4 years and 1…

  • Trait Anger and the Metabolic Syndrome Predict Progression of Carotid Atherosclerosis in Healthy Middle-Aged Women

    Katri Räikkönen, Karen A Matthews et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2004

    OBJECTIVE: Hostility may predict coronary heart disease morbidity and mortality, as well as the metabolic syndrome. We tested to see if high levels of the attitudinal and emotional aspects of hostility lead to progression of carotid atherosclerosis in women and if the metabolic syndrome is a mediator of the association. METHODS: Two hundred nine healthy women were followed during the perimenopausal and postmenopausal periods. Carotid artery ultra…

  • Anger-Related Personality Traits and Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis in Untreated Hypertensive Men

    Maria E Bleil, Jeanne M McCaffery et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2004

    OBJECTIVE: To determine whether anger-related personality traits are associated with carotid artery atherosclerosis in untreated hypertensive patients. METHODS: Study participants were 237 men with elevated blood pressure (systolic 140-180 mm Hg and/or diastolic 90-110 mm Hg) but untreated for hypertension. Average age was 56 years; 80% of subjects were white. Eighty-six percent had no history of antihypertensive treatment, and the remainder repo…

  • Chronic stress burden, discrimination, and subclinical carotid artery disease in African American and Caucasian women.

    Wendy M Troxel, Karen A Matthews et al.ARTICLEHealth Psychology2003

    This study examined the association between a composite index of stress that included measures of life events, ongoing stress, discrimination, and economic hardship and subclinical carotid disease among 109 African America and 225 Caucasian premenopausal women. African Americans reported more chronic stress and had higher carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) as compared with Caucasians. Among African Americans only, the composite stress index and…

  • Marital Status, Marital Quality, and Atherosclerotic Burden in Postmenopausal Women

    Linda Gallo, Linda C Gallo et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2003

    UNLABELLED: Marriage confers health benefits for men, but the evidence for women is less consistent. Inconsistent findings may be attributed, in part, to the confounding of marital status and marital quality. OBJECTIVES: The authors examined whether women in satisfying marriages evidence lesser atherosclerosis relative to women in low-satisfying marriages and relative to unmarried women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three hundred ninety-three women fro…

  • Educational Attainment and Coronary and Aortic Calcification in Postmenopausal Women

    Linda Gallo, Linda C Gallo et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2001

    OBJECTIVE: Low socioeconomic status is a risk factor for clinical coronary heart disease, a relatively crude outcome associated with important biases. By avoiding these biases, subclinical assessments could facilitate efforts to understand the association between socioeconomic status and coronary disease. The current study 1) evaluated the nature of the associations between educational attainment and subclinical atherosclerosis and 2) examined if…

  • Psychologic Distress and Natural Menopause: A Multiethnic Community Study

    Joyce T Bromberger, Peter Meyer et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2001Cited by: 5References: 36

    Objectives. This study examined the association between psychologic distress and natural menopause in a community sample of African American, White, Chinese, Hispanic, and Japanese women participating in a national women's health study. Methods. A cohort of 16 065 women aged 40 to 55 years provided information on menstrual regularity in the previous year, psychosocial factors, health, and somatic–psychologic symptoms. Psychologic distress was def…
