[Dietary habits in a group of middle-aged women].

The authors made a pilot nutrition survey in a group of 75 women working in the Skoda plant in Plzen. They analyzed the dietary intake during a three-day period. It was revealed that the intake of the investigated group is grossly at variance with principles of rational nutrition. The total energy intake (almost 10,000 kJ/day) comprised 44% fat, 42% carbohydrate and 14% protein. The P/S ratio was 0.36. The nutritional parameters did not correlate significantly with blood lipid levels or other investigated data. Only the total energy intake and total fat intake correlated positively with the BMI.

Changes of blood pressure and lipid pattern during a physical training course in hypertensive subjects.

Among 77 hypertensive subjects with a previous predominantly sedentary way of life we followed the changes of several cardiovascular and biochemical parameters during a 5-week physical training course. A highly significant drop in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) was observed in 58 subjects (75%, p less than 0.001). There was a strong negative correlation between initial uricaemia and the diastolic BP decrease (r = -0.382; p less than 0.001). The decrease of systolic as well as diastolic BP correlated positively with the increase of maximum oxygen uptake per kilogram (VO2max/kg) during the intervention (for systolic BP: r = 0.282, p less than 0.05; for diastolic BP: r = 0.286, p less than 0.05). Serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), uricaemia levels and body mass index (BMI) decreased (p less than 0.01 for uricaemia; p less than 0.001 for the rest), whereas the HDL-C/TC ratio increased significantly (p less than 0.001). These positive changes disappeared already 3-7 months after the intervention except for BMI, TG and uricemia, where the lower levels persisted. Thus, the 5-week intensive physical training had a favourable but short-time effect on BP and lipid pattern in the majority of hypertensives.

[Social impact of cerebrovascular disorders in a large engineering plant 1982-1986].

The authors analyzed the incidence of cerebrovascular diseases (dg. 430-438) in an industrial population in 1982-1986. The morbidity from cerebrovascular diseases associated with temporary or permanent work incapacity had during the investigation period a slightly rising trend which was more marked in manual male workers above 50 years of age. Strokes are the cause for granting invalidity pensions in cca 4%. In general cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases account for cca 21% of invalidity pensions. In the register of cerebrovascular attacks the incidence of strokes was roughly double in men as compared with women; it was on average 30 patients per year per 36,000 employees, i.e. cca 0.8%. Cerebrovascular attacks are in cca 70% associated with hypertension and the basis of almost three quarters of strokes is cerebral ischaemia. The trend of cerebrovascular diseases is unfavourable and depends above all on the control of hypertension in the population.
