RESUMO
We assessed the relationship between potential risk factors for coronary heart disease, including type A behavior, leisure time physical activity, and stress in a young black adult population. The study population consisted of 192 black college freshmen at the University of Pittsburgh. The mean age of male subjects was 18.4; the mean age of female subjects was 18.5 years. No significant sex differences were noted for body mass index, type A behavior, stress, or physical activity levels. For both men and women, type A (Framingham) was positively correlated with stress. Only among women was there a positive association between type A (Bortner) and physical activity.
