Oddball: You'd probably live longer than others who do NOT vent !

Weird Way to Extend Your Lifespan
-------------------------------------

When you're mad, do this: scream, holler, rant, and rave.
People who vent their anger live far longer than
people who keep their feelings bottled up,
according to new research from
Rush University Medical Center in Chicago,
reports HealthDayNews.

Here is the startling conclusion: People who didn't vent their anger
were twice as likely to die as people who let it out.

The study: As part of the ongoing Religious Order Study
with elderly priests, brothers, and nuns,
neuropsychologist Robert S. Wilson examined the
medical records of 851 participants from 1994-2002.
The average age of each at the start of the study
was 75. Priests and nuns are an excellent study group
because they live in almost identical socioeconomic and
social worlds, notes HealthDayNews.

The goal was to examine how life span is affected
by the expression or suppression of anger.
Just over 160 of the participants died during the study.
Following their deaths, the researchers examined
the results of tests the subjects had taken earlier that
measured their level of negative feelings and
their ability to express it.

Although much research has been done on
how depression is related to a shorter lifespan and
contributes to heart disease, little investigation
has been done on how people cope with
negative emotions, including anger.
"From the time of the ancient Greeks, people have thought
that personality and the way you express your emotions
are related to health," Wilson told HealthDayNews.
"There's a long history of studying that in medicine."

The results: The 10 percent of the priests, brothers,
and nuns who were most likely to keep their anger and
other negative emotions bottled up were twice
as likely to die as the 10 percent on the other end
of the scale. If the losers in this life-or-death contest
were the "sit and stew" people, the winners were
those who said, "I get angry, and I slam a door.
I curse a lot." (Yes, even clergy curse.)

What is still unknown is how anger--and the
management of it--affects our health, including
immune system function and the risk
for cardiovascular disease.

"It is much better to be able to talk things through,
but the old 'Saturday Evening Post' cartoon of the
husband yelling at the mother who yells at the kid
who kicks the dog who bites the cat who claws
the mouse remains a classical American coping strategy,
no matter how non-politically correct it may be,"
acknowledged Wilson. You just don't want to be the mouse.

The research findings were published in the
American Journal of Epidemiology.
 
I'm sorry to hear that you lost an important paper --I've been there a couple of times, and do know how it can affect us should we lose an important paper via computer. Not pretty.
Chin up and stay positive..wish I knew of a remedy of retrieving lost data, but I ain't. :(
