ABSTRACT
The results
literature data analysis showed multidirectional associations between the risk
cardiovascular pathology and hostility. Prevalence of negative psycho-emotional
states such as hostility was higher among females that may be
explained by physiological characteristics of female body and ways of
anger/hostility expression, which in turn affect the risk of cardiovascular
disease (CVD) development. In this regard, in order to improve the
CVD prevention among adult female population, it is necessary to create
information resources and educational technologies as well as infrastructure
that can provide appropriate and easily available counseling in order to
identify and monitor psychosocial risk factors among all categories of female
population.
Key words: psychosocial factors, hostility, gender aspect, females.
