“…The similar results have been demonstrated in other studies (Bhattacharya & Banerjee, 2004;Miller, Cohen, Rabin, Skoner & Doyle, 1999;Oldehinkel, Ormel, Brilman, & Van den Berg, 2003). The other four large-scale perspective studies examining the association between neuroticism and subsequent myocardinal infarction have also yielded null findings (Goldbourt, Medalie & Neufeld, 1975;Hallstrom, Lapidus, Bengtsson & Edstrom, 1986;Keehn, Goldberg & Beebe, 1974;Ostfeld, Lebovits, Shekelle & Paul, 1964).…”

Relationship between Personality Traits and Blood Viscosity

Personality characteristics have been linked to various health outcomes. Personality characteristics and rheological parameters have been found to be independent correlates of cardiovascular diseases. The present study aimed to explore the possible relationship between the two independent factors, personality characteristics (Big Five traits and Type A behaviour pattern) and rheological parameters (blood viscosity, plasma viscosity and red cell rigidity), and it was expected that the factors would be positively correlated to each other. The study was conducted on the sample of 68 healthy young adults. Personality assessments and biomedical analysis of the blood sample of participants were carried out to test the possible correlates. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis did not show any significant relationship between the factors. The findings indicate that personality characteristics and changes in rheological factors are independent of each other, and hence rheological parameters do not explain the relationship between personality and cardiovascular disease. Limitation and implications of the study are discussed.

“…Thus an increase in mortality, due mainly to suicides and, in males, also to circulatory diseases, has been found in some studies of anxiety syndromes [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. These findings are derived from psychiatric patients and other selected non-patient groups.…”

The mortality of anxiety syndromes between 1972 and 1992 was investigated in a prospective study of a normal population, the 1947 Lundby cohort. 121 persons with anxiety according to the Lundby definition (Anx), and 74 persons with panic disorder with/without agoraphobia (PD-Ag) according to the DSM-III-R, all of them developing their first episode between 1947 and 1972, were analyzed with regard to general mortality and special cause of death. Sex-and age-specific mortality rates for these groups were calculated and compared with the corresponding rates of the cohort’s 1,877 remaining subjects without first episodes of Anx/PD-Ag. In contrast to the females, the annual rates of general mortality in males with Anx/PD-Ag were 1.9/2.2 times higher in the age group 65-84 years, compared with the rates of the non-Anx/PD-Ag groups. They also had an increase in death due to circulatory disorders, most pronounced in males with PD-Ag before the age of 65. There were no suicides in any of the Anx/PD-Ag groups during the observation period.

“…Keehn, Goldberg, and Beebe (1974) followed 9,813 psychoneurotic white male Army veterans from 1946 to 1969, covering ages 28-56. The researchers found that the subjects had a death rate 21 percent higher than controls, a f igure that was statistically signif icant (p < .001).…”

The Mortality of Psychoanalysts

The mortality rate for male psychoanalysts was compared to that for the general white male population; for male physicians; and for male psychiatrists and neurologists. For psychoanalysts the rate was found to be significantly lower than for any of the other three groups. Several possible explanations for this low mortality rate are considered. Two major factors may be the careful screening of candidates for psychoanalytic training and their personal analysis. Possible methods of controlling for these factors are suggested.
