J Psychosom Res 2022; 160:110971. [PMID: 35841862 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychores.2022.110971] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2021] [Revised: 06/09/2022] [Accepted: 06/11/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the association between positive psychological factors and the risk of pneumonia-associated mortality in a large prospective Japanese cohort. METHODS The Japan Collaborative Cohort Study assessed 64,231 participants (26,293 men and 37,938 women), aged 40-79 years, without a history of stroke, myocardial infarction, cancer or tubercules at baseline (1988-1990). We used self-administered questionnaires about lifestyle, medical history, and mental states, including three positive psychological factors, and followed-up for mortality outcomes until the end of 2009. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to calculate the multivariable hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of pneumonia-associated mortality after adjustment for potential confounding factors, mutually positive psychological factors, and consideration for the competing risk. RESULTS Having Ikigai (in Japanese) was inversely associated with the risk of pneumonia-associated mortality in both men and women; the multivariable HRs (95% CIs) for high versus low levels were 0.68 (0.48-0.97), P trend =0.090 and 0.66 (0.43-1.00), P trend =0.146, respectively. Such inverse associations were more pronounced in working men and non-working women; the multivariable HRs (95% CIs) for high versus low levels were 0.52 (0.32-0.85), P trend =0.010 and 0.59 (0.37-0.94), P trend =0.079, respectively. Being relied upon by others and Enjoyment of life was not associated with the risk in both genders. CONCLUSION Having Ikigai was associated with a lower risk of pneumonia-associated mortality in both genders, especially in working men and non-working women.

Abstract
Background Behavioral factors are important in disease incidence and mortality and may explain associations between mortality and various psychological traits. Purpose These analyses investigated the impact of behavioral factors on the associations between depression, hostility and cardiovascular disease(CVD) incidence, CVD mortality, and all-cause mortality. Methods Data from the PRIME Study (N = 6953 men) were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models, following adjustment for demographic and biological CVD risk factors, and other psychological traits, including social support. Results Following initial adjustment, both depression and hostility were significantly associated with both mortality outcomes (smallest SHR = 1.24, p < 0.001). Following adjustment for behavioral factors, all relationships were attenuated both when accounting for and not accounting for other psychological variables. Associations with all-cause mortality remained significant (smallest SHR = 1.14, p = 0.04). Of the behaviors included, the most significant contribution to outcomes was found for smoking, but a role was also found for fruit and vegetable intakes and high alcohol consumption. Conclusions These findings demonstrate well-known associations between depression, hostility, and mortality and suggest the potential importance of behaviors in explaining these relationships.

Abstract
It has previously been suggested that the association between Type A behaviour and coronary heart disease (CHD) may be mediated through diet. This analysis investigates associations between Type A behaviour and diet, with particular focus on foods high in saturated fats and cholesterol (cake, cheese, eggs and fried potatoes), foods high in unsaturated fats (fish and nuts), and fruit and vegetables. The analysis was conducted on data collected from 10,602 men from Northern Ireland and France screened for inclusion in the PRIME cohort study. Type A behaviour was measured using the Framingham Type A Behaviour Patterns Questionnaire, diet was measured using a Food Frequency Questionnaire and various demographic details were also assessed. Levels of Type A behaviour and intakes of all food groups were similar to previous studies. Using regression, Type A behaviour was significantly associated with diet, and specifically with a higher consumption of cheese and vegetables in Northern Ireland, and a higher consumption of cake, fish and vegetables in France. These associations are most plausibly explained as a result of lifestyle, although the possibility of independent associations between Type A behaviour and diet remains. The work is limited by the use of questionnaires, but the findings available suggest that Type A behaviour is unlikely to be associated with the consumption of a diet that has previously been linked to CHD. These findings suggest that any association between Type A behaviour and CHD is unlikely to be mediated through diet.

Abstract
BACKGROUND France has a substantially lower level of premature mortality from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) relative to its comparators. Compared with Northern Ireland, France has one-half the rate, despite having a similar cardiovascular risk profile to Northern Ireland. In this prospective longitudinal study the psychosocial risk hypothesis for CVD was tested. METHOD A cohort of 9758 men (7359 in France and 2399 in Northern Ireland) aged 50-59 years who were initially free of any CVD were recruited. At baseline the subjects completed a psychosocial questionnaire, measuring hostility, depression, social support, and the Type A behaviour pattern. At 5-years follow-up their clinical status was determined. RESULTS Multivariate analysis indicated that, contrary to prediction, France had a substantially more negative psychosocial risk profile than Northern Ireland. The psychosocial risk factors were not successful at predicting at 5-years follow-up the hard clinical endpoint of definite fatal/non-fatal myocardial infarction. In the case of the softer clinical endpoint, angina pectoris/unstable angina, only depression predicted outcome with a small effect size. CONCLUSION The findings provide little support for the psychosocial risk hypothesis. The psychosocial risk profile was more negative in France, the opposite of that predicted. The finding of a relationship between depression and angina may reflect a tendency for individuals who respond negatively on mood state to report more cardiac symptoms irrespective of physical disease state.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality is four times higher in 50-year-old Lithuanian men than in 50-year-old Swedish men. The difference cannot be explained by standard risk factors. The objective of this study was to examine differences in psychosocial risk factors for CHD in the two countries. METHODS The LiVicordia study is a cross-sectional survey comparing 150 randomly selected 50-year-old men in each of the two cities: Vilnius, Lithuania, and Linköping, Sweden. As part of the study, a broad range of psychosocial characteristics, known to predict CHD, were investigated. RESULTS In the men from Vilnius compared with those from Linköping, we found a cluster of psychosocial risk factors for CHD; higher job strain (p <.01), lower social support at work, lower emotional support, and lower social integration (p values <.001). Vilnius men also showed lower coping, self-esteem, and sense of coherence (p values < .001), higher vital exhaustion, and depression (p values < .001). Quality of life and perceived health were lower and expectations of ill health within 5 to 10 years were higher in Vilnius men (p values < .001). Correlations between measurements on traditional and psychosocial risk factors were few and weak. CONCLUSIONS The Vilnius men, representing the population with a four-fold higher CHD mortality, had unfavorable characteristics on a cluster of psychosocial risk factors for CHD in comparison with the Linköping men. We suggest that this finding may provide a basis for possible new explanations of the differences in CHD mortality between Lithuania and Sweden.

Abstract
The present case-control study investigated the association between dimensions of hostility and myocardial infarction (MI) in adult males. Hostility was measured with the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory (BDHI), which assesses two distinct dimensions of hostility, namely experiential and expressive hostility. Cases were 81 males who were admitted in hospital because of a first MI. The reference group consisted of 168 age-matched, healthy male neighbourhood controls. Analyses revealed that especially experiential hostility (comprised of the subscales Resentment and Suspicion) was significantly associated with MI. These results are in contrast with the findings of previous studies, which showed expressive hostility to be positively related to coronary heart disease (CHD). Explanations for these contradictory findings are discussed.
