The study was published in Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health and called "coping undercover" to the different strategies that people use to suppress their emotions.
Stockholm In a study of 2,755 men aged between 19 and 70 who had never suffered a heart attack. Asked participants what methods adopted to handle difficult situations: handled things head on, they let things happen without a word, turned away from the conflict situation, they developed symptoms such as headache or stomach or were in a bad mood when I get home.
At the same time took a record of habits like smoking, drinking alcohol, exercise, education level, health status, diabetes, the demands of their work and their freedom to make decisiones.Se measured their blood pressure, rate body mass and cholesterol levels.
After 10 years (2005-2006) the researchers gathered at the national hospital records the details of the men who had suffered a heart attack or died as a result of heart disease, found that 47 of the 2,755 participants were affected
Researchers found that men whose coping strategy was to move away from conflict to sometimes or often, or those who let things go without saying anything showed twice the risk of a heart attack or death from heart disease, compared with men who defied the situation or faced openly. Those who used to develop headaches or stomach or sulk at home, showed no increased risk of disorders.
Investigators believe that anger can cause physiological stress is not released and if this can cause increased blood pressure, which eventually damages the system cardiovascular. What the study shows is that away from conflict and say nothing are not constructive ways of dealing with the problem.
best, experts say, is to find ways to manage stress and conflict positively, both at work and at home.
