Overview
Hostility (negative beliefs about and attitudes toward others, including cynicism and mistrust) is related to the increased risk of many health problems, including addictive and cardiovascular diseases.

The prevalence of hostility among people with cardiovascular and addictive diseases may be higher than in the general population.
