To test the hypothesis that type A behavior is associated with the incidence of myocardial infarction in groups outside the U.S.A., 243 healthy males, aged 45-59 years, who participated in the Kaunas-Rotterdam Intervention Study (KRIS) were interviewed and followed for 91/2 years. No association between type A behavior and the incidence of all coronary events (myocardial infarction and cardiac death) was found. Fatal coronary events, however, were found to have occurred in types A only (P = 0.04). This weak, but positive association indicates that in Europe too the incidence of fatal coronary heart disease is associated with type A behavior.
为了验证“A型行为与美国以外人群中心肌梗死的发生率相关”这一假设，对参加考纳斯-鹿特丹干预研究（KRIS）的243名年龄在45至59岁之间的健康男性进行了访谈，并随访了9年半。未发现A型行为与所有冠心病事件（心肌梗死和心源性死亡）的发生率之间存在关联。然而，发现致命性冠心病事件仅发生在A型行为者中（P = 0.04）。这种微弱但呈阳性的关联表明，在欧洲，致命性冠心病的发生率也与A型行为有关。
