[Utilization of risk factors in medical practice for ischemic heart disease evaluation].

The Multivariate risk of developing Ischaemic Heart Disease (IHD) during period of 6 years was estimated for men aged 40-59 years on the basis of 2 Polish populations. Coefficients of multivariate logistic function (MLF) were calculated using sample of 4831 men with 240 cases of IHD. The significant risk factors were: age, total serum cholesterol level, diastolic blood pressure, number of cigarettes smoked, familial history of IHD. For these five significant factors new MLF coefficients were calculated. Discriminant power and goodness of fit for both functions were analysed and no significant differences found. The reduced MLF was applied to construct a simple questionnaire of IHD risk test.

[12-year trends in cardiovascular disease mortality].

The coefficients and trends of mortality in years 1976-1987, based on data of Central Statistical Office, has been estimated in population of men and women aged 25 to 64 years, inhabitants of the Warsaw city region or the county region of Tarnobrzeg province . The trend of decrease of general mortality due to diseases of circulatory system has been statistically significant one similarly as that of mortality due to other heart diseases or ischaemic heart disease in men (group aged 25-34 or 35-44 years) in the Tarnobrzeg province . The analogously significant trend of mortality due to diseases of circulatory system or ischemic heart diseases in men aged 35-44 years has been stated in the Warsaw inhabitants. In the group of women an increase of general mortality has been noted in the youngest age group in Warsaw. In Warsaw and the Tarnobrzeg province in 1987 deaths due to diseases of circulatory system represented 33.2% and 39.9%, respectively, of total death pool among subjects aged 25 to 64 years. The respective percentages in the group of women were 29.1% and 39.4%.

[Stroke incidence and mortality among urban and rural populations during the 3-year period].

In years 1984-1986 582 men and 338 women have been registered with clinical diagnosis of cerebral stroke. The respective numbers in the Tarnobrzeg province were 340 and 263. Preliminary diagnosis of cerebral stroke was confirmed according to criteria of registration in 82% of men or women from Warsaw and in 81% of men and 84% of women in the Tarnobrzeg province . Standardized incidence due to cerebral stroke was significantly higher in every of analysed years in the Warsaw population both among men and women in compare with that in the Tarnobrzeg province . In both population studied the incidence was significantly higher among men than among women. Standardized fatality during 28 days from the start of sickness was higher in the Tarnobrzeg province population than in the Warsaw population so far as both men and women are concerned. In both populations among men and women the most frequently diagnosis was acute disease of cerebral vessels.

Pol-MONICA Cracow on-going study: initial findings.

The findings after the first year of the study are presented. The study population is 282,052 men and women aged 25-64 years, current residents of rural Tarnobrzeg Voivodeship. The population is characterized by a declining linear trend in ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality in men aged 35-44 years. The myocardial infarction (MI) incidence (per 100,000 residents) is 233 in men and 68 in women. The MI death rates (per 100,000 residents) are 128 for men and 29 for women. The MI 28-day case fatality is 44% for men and 41% for women. The most frequent risk factors are: smoking in men (58%) and obesity in women (40%). Around one-quarter of the men and of the women are hypertensive. The rates for hypercholesterolemia are 9% in men and 13% in women.
