Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that individuals who exhibit hostile, competitive and pessimistic behavior are more likely to experience cardiovascular disease later in life. This is because chronic stress can lead to a buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can ultimately lead to heart disease. While chronic stress can also have negative effects on the immune system, chronic infections, and cancer, cardiovascular disease is the most likely outcome based on the given characteristics of the roommate.
