“…However, anger proneness has been associated with CHD risk factors, including hyperlipidemia and hypertension. 30,31 Recently, it has also emerged as a risk factor for the development of CHD. 32,33 In the same ARIC data set, normotensive individuals with high anger proneness were at a 2.2-fold greater risk for CHD than those with a low level of anger.…”

There has been mounting evidence suggesting that psychosocial factors, including anger proneness, depression and social isolation, are risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD). 1,2 Studies have shown a positive relationship between anger proneness and CHD risk factors. The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study found that anger proneness was an independent risk factor for CHD among normotensive, middle-aged men and women. 3 A meta-analysis reviewing several major epidemiological studies concluded that depression is an independent risk factor in the development of CHD in initially healthy people, with an overall relative risk of 1.64. 4 Other studies have also shown that depression increases short and long term mortality risk in patients with known CHD. 5,6 Lack of social support also portends a poor prognosis in patients after myocardial infarction (MI). 7,8 For example, among MI survivors, those with low to moderate levels of perceived social support had a 1-year post-CHD mortality rate about twofold higher than those with high levels of social support. 9 Furthermore, there is an interaction between depression and social support in relation to MI survival. 9 Although epidemiologic evidence is indicative, the results of psychosocial interventions after MI have

“…Johnson et al, 7 in cross-sectional analyses, showed that trait anger was positively associated with the LDL/HDL ratio and triglyceride levels. Durel et al 8 reported a positive association between trait anger and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and between trait anger and cardiovascular reactivity.…”

Background-Increased research attention is being paid to the negative impact of anger on coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods and Results-This study examined prospectively the association between trait anger and the risk of combined CHD (acute myocardial infarction [MI]/fatal CHD, silent MI, or cardiac revascularization procedures) and of "hard" events (acute MI/fatal CHD). Participants were 12 986 black and white men and women enrolled in the Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities study. In the entire cohort, individuals with high trait anger, compared with their low anger counterparts, were at increased risk of CHD in both event categories. The multivariate-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) (95% CI) was 1.54 (95% CI 1.10 to 2.16) for combined CHD and 1.75 (95% CI 1.17 to 2.64) for "hard" events. Heterogeneity of effect was observed by hypertensive status. Among normotensive individuals, the risk of combined CHD and of "hard" events increased monotonically with increasing levels of trait anger. The multivariate-adjusted HR of CHD for high versus low anger was 2.20 (95% CI 1.36 to 3.55) and for moderate versus low anger was 1.32 (95% CI 0.94 to 1.84). For "hard" events, the multivariate-adjusted HRs were 2.69 (95% CI 1.48 to 4.90) and 1.35 (95% CI 0.87 to 2.10), respectively. No statistically significant association between trait anger and incident CHD risk was observed among hypertensive individuals. Conclusions-Proneness to anger places normotensive middle-aged men and women at significant risk for CHD morbidity and death independent of the established biological risk factors.

“…The highest contributions for reducing stress are exercise, income and balanced diet as per primary data. It is to be noted that there is no multicollinearity among the independent variables since the range of VIF are from the result from higher level of stress including blood pressure, hypertension [7,8], self-reported illness [9], immune function, diabetes, hyperglycemia [10], heart disease [11], dyslipidemia [12], preterm birth [13] and increased carotid artery intima-media thickness [14]. In addition, health damaging behaviours such as drug misuse [15] and cigarette smoking [16] have also been found to bear strong correlation with stress.…”

This is a qualitative (study that used framework analysis) to examine by interviews among University personnel who live inside and outside the Islamic University campus in Kushtia, Bangladesh. In the present study, we found that subjects who live inside of the University feel better physically and mentally than the nonresident subjects. It was found that residents are more fit and feel better during and after class time. Resident subjects have less stress and maintain balanced diet for which they have good average BMI value than the nonresident subjects. In addition nonresident subjects have suffered diseases comparatively much more than resident subjects
