“…A second pathway is through physiological dysregulation. A growing body of evidence has linked these traits to markers of inflammatory (Luchetti et al, 2014), cardiovascular (Cheng et al, 2016), and metabolic (Čukić et al, 2016) dysfunction. Personality has specifically been linked with higher risk of metabolic syndrome (Mommersteeg and Pouwer, 2012), a constellation of anthropometric, metabolic, and hemodynamic risk factors (Grundy et al, 2005).…”

Personality and metabolic dysfunction in young adulthood: A cross-sectional study

This research used the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health ( N = 15,359; age range 25-34) to examine the cross-sectional relation between personality and four components of metabolic syndrome (elevated glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, and waist circumference) and a metabolic risk index in young adulthood. Consistent with research on older adults, higher Neuroticism and lower Conscientiousness were associated with greater risk of metabolic dysfunction; Agreeableness, however, was unrelated to it. The relation between personality and metabolic health may unfold across the lifespan, with the association between Neuroticism/Conscientiousness and metabolic dysfunction starting early and the association with Agreeableness emerging at older ages.

“…MDD correlates highly with neuroticism which, although inconsistent, may be protective of CVD 56. Conscientiousness traits may lead to better outcomes57 and it is possible that this trait has been selected for within UK Biobank. Despite this early reduced risk, due to the time-varying nature of MDD, MDD has increased risk in the latter aspects of the time-stratified analyses for the full and female-only analyses (online supplementary tables 9 and 10).…”

Impact of major depression on cardiovascular outcomes for individuals with hypertension: prospective survival analysis in UK Biobank

et al. 2019

ObjectivesTo assess whether a history of major depressive disorder (MDD) in middle-aged individuals with hypertension influences first-onset cardiovascular disease outcomes.DesignProspective cohort survival analysis using Cox proportional hazards regression with a median follow-up of 63 months (702 902 person-years). Four mutually exclusive groups were compared: hypertension only (n=56 035), MDD only (n=15 098), comorbid hypertension plus MDD (n=12 929) and an unaffected (no hypertension, no MDD) comparison group (n=50 798).SettingUK Biobank.ParticipantsUK Biobank participants without cardiovascular disease aged 39–70 who completed psychiatric questions relating International Classification of Diseases-10 Revision (ICD-10) diagnostic criteria on a touchscreen questionnaire at baseline interview in 2006–2010 (n=134 860).Primary and secondary outcome measuresFirst-onset adverse cardiovascular outcomes leading to hospital admission or death (ICD-10 codes I20–I259, I60–69 and G45–G46), adjusted in a stepwise manner for sociodemographic, health and lifestyle features. Secondary analyses were performed looking specifically at stroke outcomes (ICD-10 codes I60–69 and G45–G46) and in gender-separated models.ResultsRelative to controls, adjusted HRs for adverse cardiovascular outcomes were increased for the hypertension only group (HR 1.36, 95% CI 1.22 to 1.52) and were higher still for the comorbid hypertension plus MDD group (HR 1.66, 95% CI 1.45 to 1.9). HRs for the comorbid hypertension plus MDD group were significantly raised compared with hypertension alone (HR 1.22, 95% CI 1.1 to 1.35). Interaction measured using relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) and likelihood ratios (LRs) were identified at baseline (RERI 0.563, 95% CI 0.189 to 0.938; LR p=0.0116) but not maintained during the follow-up.LimitationsPossible selection bias in UK Biobank and inability to assess for levels of medication adherence.ConclusionsComorbid hypertension and MDD conferred greater hazard than hypertension alone for adverse cardiovascular outcomes, although evidence of interaction between hypertension and MDD was inconsistent over time. Future cardiovascular risk prediction tools may benefit from the inclusion of questions about prior history of depressive disorders.

“…We searched the literature and found that while there were many studies on personality (and other) correlates of various physical complaints there were relatively few studies of hearing difficulties. Nevertheless, those studies have often identified trait Neuroticism as a correlate of any disorder, illness or physical complaint [30] [31] [32]. The correlational results suggested seven variables were related to hearing problems in adulthood.…”

This study explored psychological, biomedical, and social factors in childhood and adulthood associated with the occurrence of self-reported hearing problems in adulthood. In total, 4828 participants with complete data on parental social class at birth, childhood hearing impairment measured at age 7 years and cognitive ability accessed at age 11 years, educational qualifications obtained at age 33 years, the Big-Five-Factor personality traits measured at age 50 years, current occupational levels and self-reported hearing problems at age 54 years were included in the study. Logistic regression analysis showed that among all the factors examined childhood hearing impairment and trait neuroticism as well as gender were the significant and independent predictors of hearing problems in adulthood. Health explore the psychological, biomedical, and socio-demographic factors in childhood and adulthood associated with the occurrence of self-reported hearing problems in adulthood, using a large birth cohort in the UK. Studies on personality and health have consistently implicated two traits:Conscientiousness and Neuroticism [3] [4]. Conscientious people are more planful, reliable and organised. They tend to take more responsibility for their
