Neurotic people are more likely to die from cardiovascular disease. Being extroverted, however, protects people from dying from respiratory illness.

Neuroticism is a proclivity toward worry and emotional ups and downs. A mortality study of almost 5,500 people showed that risk of death from cardiovascular disease climbed as a person’s level of neuroticism rose.

Extraversion, a tendency to be friendly and outgoing, reduced a person’s likelihood of dying from respiratory disease, but had no other effects on mortality.
