Abstract
Sociological and personality factors in the etiology of coronary heart disease were investigated by comparing all the surviving cases of myocardial infarction occurring in one year in white males aged 35-64 with an equal-sized age-matched series of seriously ill persons residing in the same county. Urban middle-class Protestants of Northwestern European stock were found to be the most vulnerable to the disease. Several personality and social characteristics were also found to be closely associated with coronary heart disease.
