Anger expression, gender, and ambulatory blood pressure in mild, unmedicated adults with hypertension
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The suppression of anger has been associated with the development of hypertension. This study evaluated the association between anger management style (anger-in and anger-out) and ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) in patients with repeated clinic diastolic blood pressures (DBPs) between 90-105 mmHg, unmedicated and with no known coronary artery disease. A total of 128 men (46.0 years) and 66 women (46.6 years) participated. Fourteen percent of men and 35% of women were classified as having "white coat" hypertension (daytime DBP < 85 mmHg). Mean awake and sleep DBP and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were evaluated in a repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). Anger-in and anger-out scores were categorized into low, medium, and high t-scores (< 50, 50-59, > or = 60). Results indicated that in women, increasing anger-in is associated with greater SBPs while awake and sleeping, whereas no effect was found for DBP, nor any effect in men. No significant association was found between gender, anger-out, and ABP. The clinical diagnostic status of white coat hypertension was not differentially associated with anger-in or anger-out in men and women. In conclusion, in a sample of mild unmedicated adults with hypertension, suppression of anger is associated with greater ambulatory SBP in women, but not in men.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
