“…In contrast to these studies, we separately analyzed the subscales competitiveness and TABP and its associations with CVD as well as cancer incidence were also investigated by others. While early investigations reported positive associations for CVD outcomes (2)(3)(4)(5)(6), most studies failed to reproduce these findings including a meta-analysis of prospective studies on coronary heart disease (10,11,(26)(27)(28)(29).…”

“…Only few studies restricting to males (6,10,26,27,33) or females (32) presented sex-specific figures, however without finding significant associations. The sex-specific results in the competitiveness subscale that we found might be partly explained by a greater likelihood of CVD events induced by postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy (40).…”

“…1 Empirical evidence to support the risk factor status was mainly derived from the Western Collaborative Group study, 2,3 and from early findings of the Framingham study. 4 In the 1980's, belief in the Type A behavior hypothesis vanished because several studies, [5][6][7] including the later phases of the Framingham study, failed to confirm an association between Type A and CHD. 8 Findings of the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial especially undermined a confidence in an etiologic role of Type A behavior.…”

Objective-We examined the Type A behavior across developmental periods as a predictor of adult carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT). Methods and Results-In this prospective cohort study of 408 men and 606 women, socioeconomic background and biological risk factors of participants were assessed at baseline at age 6 to 18 years of age, Type A behavior (Hunter-Wolf A-B Rating Scale) at the 6-, 9-, and 21-year follow-ups (subjects being 12 to 24, 15 to 27, and 27 to 39 years, respectively), and carotid IMT, adulthood socioeconomic situation, and biological risk factors at the 21-year follow-up when participants were at age 27 to 39 years of age. In men, the eagerness-energy component of Type A behavior, measured at any time point, was associated with thicker carotid IMT (PϽ0.008, PϽ0.04, PϽ0.03, and PϽ0.02 for the first, second, and third assessment, and for the average score, respectively), and this association was independent of early and adult risk factors. In women, the hard-driving component at baseline (PϽ0.04) but not later was independently related to thinner carotid IMT. The other components of Type A behavior (impatience-aggression and leadership) were not associated with IMT. Conclusions-Eagerness-energy component of Type A behavior over different developmental transitions seems to be a robust predictor of IMT in men.

“…Although the Type A behavior pattern has been linked to heart disease (Friedman, 1988;Julius, 1987;Lee & Cameron, 1986-87), such an association has also been questioned (Freeman, 1986;Johnston, Cook, & Shaper, 1987;Raglund & Brand, 1988). This controversy, however, is not relevant within the model presented here.…”

Newman's model of health as the expansion of consciousness and Prigogine's theory of dissipative structures provide the framework for the development of a model of consciousness as a dissipative structure. Relationships among Type A behavior, temporal orientation, and death anxiety are examined and explicated within the human field pattern of consciousness as a dissipative structure. Type A behavior, future orientation, and death anxiety are proposed as manifestations of consciousness with the potential to evolve to higher levels in accordance with Prigogine's theory. Preliminary research findings related to the model and suggestions for future research are also presented.
