The study was based on 10 cities, one from each of the states with the five highest and five lowest heart disease death rates.Philadelphia had the highest levels of both (hostility and death rate), and Honolulu had the lowest levels of both (hostility and death rate).It was reported that statistically, the probability of the observed correlation between hostility and death rate occurring by chance is less than 1 in 10,000.
