Type A personality is not linked to heart disease in large study

ipant and 500,000 genetic markers have been characterized in a subset of participants.

Study participants will also be tracked for several more years to see if the genetic data has been successful at predicting disease, said Schlessinger, who first began thinking about the ambitious Sardinian study 10 years ago. "There is nothing else quite like this."

Though the Sardinian population is uniquely homogeneous, Abecasis and Schlessinger expect that their results will be comparable across populations and consistent with other studies.

Abecasis and Chen co-wrote the paper "Heritability Of Cardiovascular and Personality Traits in 6,148 Sardinians," with Schlessinger of the National Institute on Aging, a division of the National Institutes of Health which leads the federal research effort on aging and the medical, social and behavioral issues of older people.
