Key result
Extreme Type A behavior in managers was associated with significantly higher blood pressure, cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and smoking rates compared to those without extreme Type A behavior.
Why the study?
Is extreme Type A behavior associated with increased coronary heart disease risk factors in a managerial population?
Cross-Sectional
Yes
Is extreme Type A behavior associated with increased coronary heart disease risk factors in a managerial population?
Extreme Type A behavior in managers is associated with a higher prevalence of traditional coronary heart disease risk factors, including elevated blood pressure and lipids.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Extreme Type A may link to higher CHD risk factors in managers; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective confirmation before practice change.
Howard et al. (1976) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary heart disease risk factors. Extreme Type A Behavior vs. Less developed Type A Behavior or non-Type A was evaluated on Coronary heart disease risk factors (blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, smoking, and fitness). Extreme Type A behavior in managers was associated with significantly higher blood pressure, cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and smoking rates compared to those without extreme Type A behavior.
