“…In contrast, for type B individuals, who are characteristically calm by nature, the mood effects of Tai Chi are less obvious. A previous study found significantly higher POMS scores for individuals with type A characteristics [14]. In our study, before the Tai Chi exercise (baseline), the POMS scores in question (D, A-H, F, and C) tended to be somewhat higher in the behavioral type A group than in the type B group, but this difference was not statistically significant.…”

Objectives To investigate the influence of individual patterns of personality and behavior on the change in mood status after a brief period of Tai Chi exercise. Methods The mood status in 22 healthy females was evaluated before and after a period of Tai Chi exercise using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) score. Patterns of personal behavior were also assessed by written questionnaire. Results In the type A behavior pattern group, the score for total mood disturbance decreased significantly after a brief period (20 min) of Tai Chi exercise. No change was observed in the type B behavior pattern group. Conclusions These findings suggest that a brief period of Tai Chi exercise is mentally beneficial, particularly to individuals with type A characteristics.

“…The fact that traditional cardiovascular risk factors do not explain a great proportion of disease variation stresses the importance of other less studied factors in AMI risk such as psychosocial factors. Psychosocial evaluation was shown to add another insight in AMI aetiology, prognosis and rehabilitation, and helps in determining critical periods during which individuals are particularly prone to AMI [2, 3, 4, 5]. However, regardless of the occurrence of AMI, the relation between biomedical risk factors and psychosocial indexes is not fully understood and it is important to assess if there is confounding or effect modification among biomedical and psychosocial characteristics.…”

Background: Psychosocial characteristics might contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of cardiovascular disease as it is increasingly recognised that biomedical risk factors do not fully explain its dynamics. This study aimed to describe psychometric indexes in a Portuguese community sample relating them to known cardiovascular disease risk factors. Methods: Anthropometric, blood pressure, serum measurements and information on demographic, social, medical and behavioural characteristics were obtained for 215 women and 156 men. Self-administered questionnaires were used for the psychometric evaluation (Bortner scale, Beck Depression Inventory, Hopkins Symptom Distress Checklist 90-Revised, Psychological General Well-Being and the Nottingham Health Profile, NHP). Results: There were significant differences according to gender regarding almost every psychometric dimension assessed. After adjusting for the presence of different biomedical risk factors, significant decreasing mean behaviour pattern scores were found with increasing age. Mean depression scores were significantly higher in women and in individuals with lower educational level. As to general psychological well-being, the highest scores were obtained for men and individuals with higher educational level. For the assessed dimensions of quality of life, as well as indexes of psychopathology, men scored better than women. No significant differences in mean scores of behaviour pattern, depression, psychological general well-being and dimensions of NHP were found according to the presence of an increasing number of cardiovascular risk factors. Conclusions: The study shows that the clustering of multiple biomedical risk factors does not result in additive deleterious psychological effects and that psychometric indexes are mainly dependent on gender and education, common confounders in most studies evaluating cardiovascular risk factors.

“…22 On the other hand, Type A individuals may experience more depressive symptoms after retirement because their goals and lifestyle were excessively focused on work. 23 Outcomes of this study could be helpful for health professionals and public health decision-makers to better understand medical and psychological benefits expected from the retirement.…”
