The association of hostility to behaviorally induced (i.e. smoking behavior, alcohol consumption and physical activity) and somatic coronary risk indicators (i.e. LDL- and HDL-cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and obesity) was studied in a randomly selected representative sample of healthy adolescents and young adults (n = 1609). The question was whether the association, previously found between hostility and CHD incidence could be confirmed between hostility and CHD risk level in healthy young subjects. Results indicate that hostility is unrelated to somatic coronary risk factors, while an association with behaviorally induced risk factors was found. This association was, however, mediated by gender: current and heavy smoking, and physical inactivity were reported more commonly by hostile women, while frequent drinking by hostile men. These findings were replicated in a 3-year follow-up.
在一个随机抽取的健康青少年和青年成年人代表性样本（n = 1609）中，研究了敌意与行为诱导因素（即吸烟行为、饮酒和体育活动）以及躯体冠状动脉风险指标（即低密度脂蛋白和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇、收缩压和舒张压以及肥胖）之间的关联。问题在于，先前在敌意与冠心病发病率之间发现的关联，能否在健康年轻受试者的敌意与冠心病风险水平之间得到证实。结果表明，敌意与躯体冠状动脉风险因素无关，而与行为诱导风险因素存在关联。然而，这种关联是由性别介导的：敌意的女性更常报告当前大量吸烟和缺乏体育活动，而敌意的男性则更常频繁饮酒。这些发现在为期3年的随访中得到了重复。
