Research from the USA suggests that cities with high mortality rates have high levels of hostility. Our aim was to replicate this research in English towns. A telephone questionnaire, based on the Cook-Medley hostility scale, was administered to random samples of adults in 10 English towns: five with high standardized mortality ratios (SMR) and five with low SMRs. The point estimate for the age-sex-weighted mean hostility score of high SMR towns was higher than that of low SMR towns (mean difference 0.2). However, the 95% confidence interval on the estimate included no difference between the two groups (-0.3-0.8). Our study does not confirm beyond doubt the findings of earlier research in the USA.
