Abstract:
A case—control study of type A behavior with Type A Behavior Questionnaire was conducted in145 patients of first onset of ischemic cerebrovascular diseas? diagnosed after CT assessment.It was found that TH,CHand TH+CH scores of the patient group were significantly higher than that of matched normal controls.The OR was2.79(95% CI 1.70—4.57)for those patients with type A behavior when compared with that among those patients withtype B behavior.Even after the adjustment of hypertension history,the OR was remained as 1.38(95% CI 0.74—2.56),suggesting the risk of ischemic cerebrovascular disease is indirectly increased by type A behavior.
