The relationship between anger and cardiovascular morbidity has not been investigated among Mexican Americans. This exploratory study examined the heritability of anger types and their relationship to cardiovascular variables in samples of unrelated and related Mexican Americans residing near Chicago, Illinois. All of the anger variables of the Spielberger Anger Expression Scale (in, out, control, total expression) had significant heritabilities. Using the total sample of related individuals, higher female anger-out scores were associated with greater left ventricular mass after correction for height to the 2.7 power (LVM/HT2.7), systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure. Females had positive, significant associations for body mass index with LVM/HT2.7, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure; among males, these variables were similarly but less strongly related. Anger (coraje in Spanish) is discussed in the context of folk medicine as a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity.
墨西哥裔美国人中愤怒与心血管疾病发病率之间的关系尚未得到研究。这项探索性研究在居住在伊利诺伊州芝加哥附近的非亲属和亲属墨西哥裔美国人样本中，考察了愤怒类型的遗传性及其与心血管变量的关系。斯皮尔伯格愤怒表达量表的所有愤怒变量（内向、外向、控制、总表达）都具有显著的遗传性。在对相关个体的总样本进行分析时，校正身高至2.7次幂后，较高的女性愤怒外向得分与更大的左心室质量（左心室质量/身高2.7）、收缩压和舒张压相关。女性的体重指数与左心室质量/身高2.7、收缩压和舒张压呈正相关且具有显著性；在男性中，这些变量也有类似但较弱的相关性。在民间医学背景下，愤怒（西班牙语为coraje）被视为心血管疾病发病的一个危险因素进行讨论。
