    Sydney Miller, Sydney B Miller et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1998

    OBJECTIVE: Previous studies have reported poorer health behaviors in high vs. low hostile subjects.

Thirty healthy women (18-35 years), half of whom were offspring of hypertensives, were tested in both the luteal and follicular phases of the menstrual cycle. Order of testing was counterbalanced between subje…
