The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relation between Type A behavior and adipose tissue linoleic acid composition.
The sample consisted of 73 male and female Cretan adults, 23-64 years of age. Anthropometric and arterial blood pressure measurements were taken. Adipose tissue samples were collected by aspiration and data concerning general health habits were obtained. Food intake was estimated by a 24-hour dietary recall, while Type A profile was assessed with a Greek translation of the Bortner scale.
Factors associated with Type A profile are adipose tissue linoleic acid (p < 0.0004), annual income (p < 0.001), total serum cholesterol (p < 0.009), and adipose fat myristoleic acid (p < 0.02). Negative correlations were observed between adipose linoleic and myristoleic acids and the dependent variable.
It appears that adipose tissue linoleic acid may be one of the etiological factors for Type A behavior in adults.
本研究旨在探讨A型行为与脂肪组织亚油酸组成之间的关系。
样本包括73名年龄在23至64岁之间的克里特岛成年男女。进行了人体测量和动脉血压测量。通过抽吸收集脂肪组织样本，并获取有关一般健康习惯的数据。通过24小时饮食回顾估计食物摄入量，同时用Bortner量表的希腊语翻译评估A型行为模式。
与A型行为模式相关的因素有脂肪组织亚油酸（p < 0.0004）、年收入（p < 0.001）、总血清胆固醇（p < 0.009）和脂肪肉豆蔻油酸（p < 0.02）。脂肪亚油酸和肉豆蔻油酸与因变量之间存在负相关。
脂肪组织亚油酸似乎可能是成年人A型行为的病因之一。
