It is quite generally accepted that a certain personality profile long precedes the first manifestations of coronary disease. However the essential traits and above all their place amongst other risk factors remain controversial. The authors undertook a prospective study involving three male populations grouping 2147 adult subjects. Amongst the questions considered, there was the choice of a simple a quick psychological approach applicable to a population ranging over all cultural levels. The study shows that the Bortner auto-transference scale fulfils all these requirements. Thus a given type of behaviour may be analysed as a risk factor, in the same way as various examinations such a blood pressure or cholesterol level.
人们普遍认为，某种性格特征在冠心病首次出现之前就早已存在。然而，其本质特征，尤其是它们在其他风险因素中的地位仍存在争议。作者进行了一项前瞻性研究，涉及三个男性群体，共2147名成年受试者。在考虑的问题中，有一个选择是采用一种简单快速的心理方法，适用于所有文化层次的人群。研究表明，博特纳自我转移量表满足所有这些要求。因此，一种特定类型的行为可以像血压或胆固醇水平等各种检查一样，被分析为一种风险因素。
