Based on questionnaire responses from 206 college women, relationships were found between the Type A and Speed and Impatience factors from the Jenkins Activity Survey and various indicators of illness. Those scoring high on these factors reported considerably more physical symptoms, in general, than those scoring low. The Speed and Impatience factor showed up more strongly, being related to gastrointestinal symptoms, respiratory symptoms, sleep disorders, and chest pains. These findings, therefore, suggest that the coronary-prone Type A behavior pattern is implicated in illness problems beyond the vascular system.
