Abstract
What is nowadays known as the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), is a multiplex disorder, which consists of single symptoms that, when standing alone confer little risk, but when occurring in coincidence, exponentially increase the probability to manifest type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and for cardiovascular disease (CVD) [1,2] The combination of anger traits and MetS confers longitudinally a more than fourfold (Odds Ratio 4.21) increase in the incidence of myocardial infarction [3,4]. To test the assumption that personality traits may relate to single biomarkers in MetS, we estimated the association of anger traits to biomarkers of CVD risk.
