Abstract
We examined the relationship between Type A behavior and the results of a health screeningexamination in subjects who work in T town office.
A screening test for type A behavior (Tagawa et al.) was given to 65 subjects (42 males and 23females) with a mean age of 38.5 years.
There were 20 Type A2, 10 Type Al, 6 Type B1 and 19 Type B2 subjects. There was a significant correlation between type A score and diastolic blood pressure. Subjects with hepatic dysfunction had higher type A scores than those with normal hepatic function.
Our results suggest that there is a close relationship between type A behavior and both diastolic blood pressure and hapatic dysfunction.
