Type A behavior pattern (TABP) is linked to increased cardiovascular reactivity and risk factors in business managers. Higher stress responses were observed during cognitive tasks, highlighting the importance of considering session entry and exit periods.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Cardiovascular Physiology
  • Behavioral Medicine

Background:

  • Type A behavior pattern (TABP) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk.
  • Understanding cardiovascular reactivity in the workplace is crucial for employee health.
  • Cognitive tasks can elicit physiological stress responses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between TABP and cardiovascular reactivity in a natural work environment.
  • To assess heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) responses during cognitive tasks.
  • To identify cardiovascular risk factors and habits in business managers.

Main Methods:

  • Evaluated TABP, HR, SBP, and DBP in business managers during abstract reasoning and mental arithmetic tasks.

  • Assessed lifestyle habits (sedentarism, smoking, alcohol) and biological risk factors (family/personal history, cholesterol).
  • Measured physiological responses during task performance and at session entry/exit.

    • Main Results:

    • Cognitive tasks significantly increased HR, SBP, DBP, and perceived stress.
    • Peak HR and SBP occurred during mental arithmetic; peak DBP during abstract reasoning.
    • SBP was elevated at session start; HR correlated with performance. Type A individuals showed differences in pre-departure SBP.

    Conclusions:

    • Workplace cognitive tasks induce significant cardiovascular and stress reactivity.
    • Entering and leaving periods of experimental sessions are important for accurate assessment.
    • A high prevalence of Type A behavior and multiple cardiovascular risk factors were found, with Type A individuals at higher risk.
