摘要：Type D personality is characterized by negative affectivity and social inhibition.This personality construct is linked to cardiovascular diseases and is considered as stable.However,there has been little research on prevalence in non-clinical samples and on stability of this construct.The main aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and retrospective perception of stability of Type D personality in patients and general population.Methods.This was a cross-sectional study with a sample from general population (n=304) and cardiovascular patients (n=154).Type D was evaluated using DS14 questionnaire.Respondents were asked to assess their personal characteristics at the moment and how they felt 5 years ago.Items about health condition,lifestyle and sociodemographic characteristics were also included into questionnaire.Results.Type D personality was similarly prevalent in both study groups – 33.1% in cardiovascular patients and 35.9% in general population (p =.561).The prevalence of Type D based on retrospective assessment: during the last 5 years increased by 8.4% points in patients (p =.015) and by 0.4% points in comparison group (p =.472).In addition,Type D personality was associated with less healthy lifestyle in both study groups (p<0.5)and also with a worse perceived health in comparison group (p<.001).Conclusions.Type D personality is similarly prevalent in general population and cardiovascular patients.However, this construct is considered as less stable among the patients.Type D personality was associated with less healthy lifestyle and in part with worse perceived health.
