High hostility scores on the MMPI scale were predictive of clinical coronary disease incidence and total mortality over a 25-year follow-up of 255 physicians.
Cohort (n=255)
Coronary heart disease (n=255)
High hostility (MMPI Ho scale)
Clinical coronary disease incidence and total mortality
High levels of hostility as assessed by a MMPI scale (Ho) have been found associated with increased levels of arteriographically documented coronary atherosclerosis. In this study we examined the relationship between hostility and subsequent health status in a 25-year follow-up of 255 medical students who completed the MMPI while in medical school. High Ho scores were found to be predictive of both clinical coronary disease incidence and total mortality.

Barefoot et al. (Tue,) conducted a cohort in Coronary heart disease (n=255). High hostility (MMPI Ho scale) was evaluated on Clinical coronary disease incidence and total mortality. High hostility scores on the MMPI scale were predictive of clinical coronary disease incidence and total mortality over a 25-year follow-up of 255 physicians.
