Association of Hostility With Coronary Artery Calcification in Young Adults

Abstract
Hostility is a personality and character trait with attitudinal (cynicism and mistrust of others), emotional (anger), and behavioral (overt and repressed aggression) components.1 In epidemiological studies, hostility has been frequently measured with the Cook-Medley questionnaire, an empirical scale originally designed to characterize mistrustful attitudes.2
