Resumo: | ABSTRACT - Interest in type D personality and negative emotions such as anxiety and hostility has been growing. These factors are associated with health risk behaviors, which could determine the incidence and progression of cardiovascular disease in initially healthy individuals. We sought to evaluate the prevalence of anxiety, hostility, and type D personality and its influence on health risk behaviors in a cohort of university students. One hundred and fifty-one students completed five questionnaires. A mixed methodology using Pearson’s correlation, and regression analysis determined associations between risk factors and health behaviors. We observed a mild hostility and anxiety disturbance (M=0.95; SD=0.61 and M=0.91; SD=0.70). Type D personality was present in 37.7% of the participants. There was a positive association between hostility and smoking (r=0.168; p=0.04), alcohol (r=0.215; p=0.008) and coffee consumption (r=0.280; p=0.000), as well as a negative association between hostility and anxiety (r=-0.263; p=0.001), type D personality (r=-0.194; p=0.017) and lifestyle (r=-0.306; p=0.000). Besides gender variables, alcohol consumption, coffee intake, physical exercise, diet, and type D personality assumed statistical relevance explaining the health behaviors (p<0.05). Based on these results we argue that college students may benefit from a premature evaluation for the prevention of future cardiovascular disease. |

Estes fatores estão associados a comportamentos de risco para a saúde que podem determinar a incidência e a progressão de problemas cardiovasculares em indivíduos inicialmente saudáveis. Neste trabalho estudou-se a prevalência da ansiedade, da hostilidade e da personalidade tipo D e a sua influência em comportamentos de risco para a saúde numa amostra de estudantes do ensino superior. Participaram 151 estudantes que responderam a cinco questionários de autorrelato. Uma metodologia mista, com correlação de Pearson e análise de regressão, evidenciou uma associação entre fatores de risco e comportamentos de saúde. Observou-se hostilidade moderada e perturbação da ansiedade (M=0,95; DP=0,61 e M=0,91; DP=0,70). Dos participantes, 37,7% apresentaram personalidade do tipo D. Verificou-se uma associação positiva entre hostilidade e tabagismo (r=0,168; p=0,04), consumo de álcool (r=0,215; p=0,008) e de café (r=0,280; p=0,000), bem como uma associação negativa entre hostilidade e ansiedade (r=-0,263; p=0,001), personalidade tipo D (r=-0,194; p=0,017) e estilo de vida (r=-0,306; p=0,000). As variáveis género, consumo de álcool, ingestão de café, exercício físico, dieta e personalidade tipo D assumiram relevância estatística na explicação de comportamentos de saúde (p<0,05). Com base nos resultados defende-se que os estudantes do ensino superior podem beneficiar de uma avaliação precoce das variáveis identificadas neste estudo, no sentido da prevenção de futuras doenças cardiovasculares.Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa, Escola Superior de Tecnologia da Saúde de LisboaRCIPLDores, Artemisa R.Barros, DéboraBrito, AnaSingh, SuveerTeixeira, Ricardo2018-10-17T16:42:22Z2018-052018-05-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/8933engDores AR, Barros D, Brito A, Singh S, Teixeira R.
