2004 MAR 4 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Hostility and anxiety differentially predict CVD in men and women.

"Consideration of the psychosocial contributions to cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains an ongoing focus of research in the behavioral sciences, with a particular emphasis on the role of hostility," scientists in New York explained. "There are, however, a number of inconsistent findings, and the generality of findings across genders remains a continuing concern."

N.S. Consedine and colleagues at Long Island University developed an "emotions-theory perspective on the relation between personality and CVD," and hypothesized that "anxiety predicts CVD in women whereas hostility predicts CVD in men."

"Six hundred and eighty women and 415 men completed measures of traditional risk factors, emotion, and cardiovascular disease," according to the report.
