Hostility(敌意)has often been linked with being bad for our hearts ---- but could your skin color be the reason why you die earlier?
     White people are more likely to suffer from heart disease caused by anger than black people, a new study claims. Research from the University of Michigan found white adults who behaved in an aggressive manner were 40 percent more likely to develop deadly cardiovascular (心血管的) problems.
      Dr Shervin Assari, from the University of Michigan, said: “This suggests white people are more fragile to the bad effects of hostility and anger on the cardiovascular system. On the contrary, black people may have develop a type of resilience (适应力) to a wide range of psychosocial risk factors including, but not limited to, hostility and anger.”
      “This new finding is in line with our previous findings that education, self-rated health, depression and sense of control over time are more important risk factors for white people than black people. So, whatever black people’s resilience is, it is consistent and systematic and works across the broad.”
      Anger levels were measured among nearly 1,600 participants between 2001 and 2011 to measure their hostility and anger. They noted whether the person was more likely to turn their anger inwards or to express it outwardly through verbal or physical attack. Deaths due to cardiovascular disease were then tracked for a 10-year period as they found the result was the same in both genders(性别).
      And for those experiencing high levels of anxiety, the risk of suffering from a heart attack in the hours after losing one’s temper is nine and a half times greater, scientists discovered.
      Dr Thomas Buckley, from Australia, said: “While the absolute risk of anger causing a heart attack is low, our data shows that the danger is real.”
