Very small Type A–CHD association in men warrants no clinical action; leaves open incremental value beyond neuroticism in prospective studies.
Cross-Sectional (n=5,585)
Type A behavior pattern is an independent psychological construct that has a very small positive association with self-reported coronary heart disease in men.
Duncan Cramer (1991) reported a cross-sectional. Type A behaviour pattern was evaluated on Factorial structure of psychological scales and correlation with self-reported coronary heart disease. Type A behaviour pattern showed a significant but very small positive association with self-reported coronary heart disease in men, though other psychological traits had stronger correlations.
