Nine syndrome scores according to the AMDP were derived by summing up specific symptom-scores: paranoid-hallucinatory syndrome, depressive syndrome, psycho-organic syndrome, manic syndrome, hostility syndrome, vegetative syndrome, apathy, compulsory syndrome, neurological syndrome.
The authors suggested that insulin resistance and obesity were primarily responsible for the relationship between hostility and the metabolic syndrome.
All but two syndrome scores (mania, hostility) were positively related to the length of stay.
Raiikkonen, et al., [9] examined the influence of psychosocial variables on the Insulin Resistance Syndrome (IRS) concluding that hostility, among other constructs, was associated with the variables of hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and increased abdominal adipose tissue among others.
A comparison of this sample concerning LOS (≤ 23 [median] vs. > 23 [median]) is provided in table 2. All but two syndrome scores (manic syndrome, hostility) positively correlated with the length of stay (LOS) in univariate analyses, regardless of the statistical approach used (Spearman vs. phi-statistics).
Negative emotionality has been associated with higher body mass index and weight gain [ 40] and hostility with the so-called 'metabolic syndrome'[ 41], which are all risk factors for Type-2 diabetes.
In a sample of 134 African American and European American children, Raikkonen et al. [30] found that baseline hostility scores on the CMHO predicted future metabolic syndrome diagnoses for children and adolescences that did not have the metabolic syndrome at baseline at the time of a 3-year follow-up.
Othello syndrome is associated with mental changes including excessive aggression, hostility, and irritability.
The emotional and psychiatric symptoms of premenstrual syndrome range from irritability, lethargy, and rapid mood swings to hostility, confusion, aggression, and depression.
To determine if self-reported cynical hostility predicted incident diabetes or increase in number of symptoms associated with metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women.
The hostility eventually led to a 22-day strike in 1972 that cost G.M. $150 million, and the term "Lordstown syndrome" became shorthand to describe rebellious American factory workers.
