Abstract
A sample of 78 Czech adults was surveyed regarding the level of burnout, type A behavior, type D personality, life and daily events, socio-demographic data, blood pressure, triglycerides, total, HDL, LDL cholesterol. A complex life-style intervention was provided during the study.
As results of intervention, the significant changes (decline) in total and LDL cholesterol, A-type of behaviour, tension, frustration, negative affectivity, hostility, life and daily events, and social support (increase) were found. No changes in burnout, irritability, interpersonal sensitivity, and D-type of personality, were proved.
Regression showed that burnout that was assigned in 2006 predicted (together with the level of irritability) the level of HDL cholesterol in 2008.
