Personality and affective state in people with normo and hypertension

Keywords: Big five personality factors, Positive mood, Negative mood, Hypertension, Normotension

Abstract

A pilot study was conducted with 8 people with hypertension under pharmacological treatment, outpatients of the General Hospital of Pachuca, and 8 volunteers with blood pressure within normal parameters. Measurements of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, personality and affective status were taken. No statistically significant differences were found in four of the 5 personality factors, except for the neuroticism factor, which had a higher level in the group with hypertension. The negative and positive affective state was equivalent in both groups. These results are a guide for future research and interventions that aim to promote comprehensive health in patients with hypertension.
