Predicting Completeness of Symptom Relief after Major Heart Surgery
The authors hypothesized that the same biopsychosocial factors that raise the risk of illness incidence would influence the speed and completeness of relief from physical symptoms during recovery following cardiac surgery. This multicenter prospective study involved 463 patients aged 35 to 69 years who underwent coronary artery bypass graft or cardiac valve surgery. Predictor data were gathered 1 to 3 days before surgery, and outcome measures wer…
Quantifying and predicting recovery after heart surgery
The validity of the biopsychosocial approach to the study of health and illness is reaffirmed by the prospective findings of the Recovery Study. This is a multidisciplinary examination, conducted in four teaching hospitals, of the predictors of symptoms of cardiac illness in 463 patients 6 months after coronary artery bypass or cardiac valve surgery. We found that the following preoperative measures predict freedom from cardiac symptoms 6 months …

A Structural Analysis of Health-Related Quality of Life Dimensions
Of critical importance in the applications of quality of life theory and measurement to clinical situations is the need to know how the different components of quality of life relate to each other and what these relationships mean. To answer this question, the present study reanalyzes data collected 6 months after surgery on 469 patients with cardiovascular problems. The data were factor analyzed and five factors were extracted, namely, Symptoms …

A longitudinal investigation of the relationships among alcohol consumption, psychosocial factors, and blood pressure
Although a number of studies have demonstrated a link between alcohol intake and blood pressure, virtually no research has examined this relationship or the relevance of psychosocial variables in this context over time. This study utilized data from 416 subjects in the Air Traffic Controller Health Change Study to track these associations across five examinations over a 3-year period. Following obesity, alcohol consumption was consistently the se…
The Effects of Antihypertensive Therapy on the Quality of Life
We conducted a multicenter randomized double-blind clinical trial among 626 men with mild to moderate hypertension to determine the effects of captopril, methyldopa, and propranolol on their quality of life. Hydrochlorothiazide was added if needed to control blood pressure. After a 24-week treatment period, all three groups had similar blood-pressure control, although fewer patients taking propranolol required hydrochlorothiazide. Patients taking…
The Type A behaviour pattern is alive and well—when not dissected
Use of a monthly health review to ascertain illness and injuries
A Monthly Health Review was developed to monitor symptoms, illnesses and injuries among Air Traffic Controllers. Return rate of the mailed check-list exceeded 90 per cent. Diagnoses were generated from symptom clusters by computer algorithms. Telephone interview by physicians, laboratory analyses for serum pepsinogen I, and analyses of relations between symptom clusters and degree of disability all served to support the validity of the methodolog…

Recent Evidence Supporting Psychologic and Social Risk Factors for Coronary Disease
Prediction of Clinical Coronary Heart Disease by a Test for the Coronary-Prone Behavior Pattern
Prospective study of 2750 employed men who completed a computer-scored test questionnaire measuring the coronary-prone Type A behavior pattern showed that high scorers had twice the incidence of new coronary heart disease as low scorers over a four-year period. Subjects with different initial clinical manifestations of coronary disease did not differ from one another in their Type A test scores. The double-blind design of these studies and the or…

Progress Toward Validation of a Computer-Scored Test for the Type A Coronary-Prone Behavior Pattern
A self-administered, machine-scored test questionnaire to discriminate between men with the Type A coronary-prone behavior pattern and those without that pattern (Type B) was taken twice by over 2800 men in the Western Collaborative Group Study in 1965 and 1966. Optimal weighting, discriminant function, and factor analytic procedures were applied to these test items to produce scales measuring Behavior Type A, Speed and Impatience, Job Involvemen…
Replicability of rating the coronary-prone behaviour pattern
The possible involvement of a specific overt behaviour pattern in the pathogenesis of clinical coronary heart disease (CHD) has been under careful study.The characteristics of this overt behaviour pattern, called Behaviour Pattern A, have been described previously (Friedman and Rosenman, 1959).In brief, it is 6haracterized by extremes of competitiveness, striving for achievement, aggressiveness (yet sometimes stringently repressed), haste, impati…
Group Differences in Perception
Study of a probability sample of an urban county using an adaptation of the semantic differential showed differences in perceptions of tuberculosis to be associated with educational level, social class, and most markedly, with ethnic-group membership. In addition to displaying quantitative disparities on numerous scales, the three ethnic groups studied approached tuberculosis with surprisingly different structures of meaning, as revealed by facto…
