An extensive psychosocial questionnaire was administered to 1674 coronary free individuals participating in the Framingham Heart Study between 1965-1967. The respondents were followed for the development of coronary heart disease (CHD) over 8 yr. Women (aged 45-64 yr) who developed CHD scored significantly higher on the Framingham Type A behavior, suppressed hostility (not showing or discussing anger), tension and anxiety symptoms scales than women remaining free of CHD. Type A women developed twice as much CHD and 3 .times. as much angina as Type B women. In a multivariate analysis, Framingham Type A behavior and not discussing anger were independent predictors of CHD incidence when controlled for the standard coronary risk factors and other psychosocial scales. Men exhibiting Framingham Type A behavior, work overload, suppressed hostility (not showing anger) and frequent job promotions were at increased risk of developing CHD (especially in the age group 55-64 yr). Among men aged 45-64 yr, Type A behavior was associated with a 2-fold risk of angina, myocardial infarction and CHD in general, as compared to Type B behavior. The association was found only among white-collar workers and was also independent of the standard coronary risk factors and other psychosocial scales. This prospective study suggests that Type A behavior and suppressed hostility may be involved in the pathogenesis of CHD in both men and women.
