title: [Prognostic value of psychological characteristics in the evolution of borderline arterial hypertension].
abstract: Psychodiagnostic screening, using the MMPI test, was carried out in 130 individuals with marginal arterial hypertension (MAH) and 87 normotensive subjects. Individuals with MAH showed anxiety, inner tension, rigidity, a tendency to absorption in disease, and fixation on health. Lowered SMAL fourth-scale profile in MAH individuals may serve as a psychological indicator of a risk of essential hypertension.
