Hostile Behaviors Predict Cardiovascular Mortality Among Men Enrolled in the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial
Open accessAbstract
Background— Hostility is associated with incident coronary disease in most large population-based studies, but little is known about its association with cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in high-risk individuals. The aim of this study was to assess the association of hostility with CVD mortality in the subsequent 16 years in the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT) participants and to explore the influence of hostility in the subset that had a nonfatal CVD event during the trial. Methods and Results— We coded the Structured Interview responses of 259 men who died of CVD during the 16 years of follow-up and 259 matching living control subjects. Signs of hostility were assessed by use of the Interpersonal Hostility Assessment Technique. Matching was based on center, intervention group, age, race, and interviewer; covariates included study entry diastolic blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking status, and nonfatal CVD event during the trial. High-hostile men were more likely to die of CVD than were low-hostile men. Adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were 1.61, 1.09 to 2.39. After the trial, high-hostile men who also had a nonfatal event during the trial were particularly likely to die of CVD, OR, 5.06, 1.42 to 8.22, compared with low-hostile men without a nonfatal event during the trial. Conclusions— Hostility may be a risk factor for CVD mortality among high-risk men. Interventions aimed at anger management and stress reduction along with risk factor modification may be useful for hostile patients.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
