本研究评估了211名青少年A型行为与血压变异性之间的关系。与成人文献一致，分析显示A型行为与收缩压变异性和收缩压峰值之间存在关联。然而，舒张压的测量与模式A无关。当控制初始血压水平、性别、体重和年龄时，与收缩期变异性的相关性仍然存在。对A型的成分进行的辅助分析表明，高收缩期变异的青少年具有A型言语特征（快速反应迟缓）和高水平的敌意。这些发现支持了A型结构在青春期的有效性。
The present investigation assessed the relationship between Type A behavior and blood pressure variability in a sample of 211 adolescents. Consistent with the adult literature, analyses revealed an association between Type A behavior and both systolic blood pressure variability and peak systolic pressure. The measures of diastolic blood pressure, however, were unrelated to Pattern A. The association with systolic variability remained when controlling for initial blood pressure level, sex, weight, and age. Subsidiary analyses of the components of Pattern A showed that high systolic variability teenagers are characterized by Type A speech characteristics (quick response latencies) and high levels of hostility. These findings support the validity of the Type A construct in adolescence.
