Abstract

To assess whether educational class, an index of socioeconomic position, improves the accuracy of the SCORE cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction equation.In a pooled analysis of 68 455 40-64-year-old men and women, free from coronary heart disease at baseline, from 47 prospective population-based cohorts from Nordic countries (Finland, Denmark, Sweden), the UK (Northern Ireland, Scotland), Central Europe (France, Germany, Italy) and Eastern Europe (Lithuania, Poland) and Russia, we assessed improvements in discrimination and in risk classification (net reclassification improvement (NRI)) when education was added to models including the SCORE risk equation.The lowest educational class was associated with higher CVD mortality in men (pooled age-adjusted HR=1.64, 95% CI 1.42 to 1.90) and women (HR=1.31, 1.02 to 1.68). In men, the HRs ranged from 1.3 (Central Europe) to 2.1 (Eastern Europe and Russia). After adjustment for the SCORE risk, the association remained statistically significant overall, in the UK and Eastern Europe and Russia. Education significantly improved discrimination in all European regions and classification in Nordic countries (clinical NRI=5.3%) and in Eastern Europe and Russia (NRI=24.7%). In women, after SCORE risk adjustment, the association was not statistically significant, but the reduced number of deaths plays a major role, and the addition of education led to improvements in discrimination and classification in the Nordic countries only.We recommend the inclusion of education in SCORE CVD risk equation in men, particularly in Nordic and East European countries, to improve social equity in primary prevention. Weaker evidence for women warrants the need for further investigations.

Abstract

Background and aims: The association between adiposity measures and dyslipidemia has seldom been assessed in a multipopulational setting. Methods and results: 27 populations from Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Canada (WHO MONICA project) using health surveys conducted between 1990 and 1997 in adults aged 35-64 years (n = 40,480). Dyslipidemia was defined as the total/HDL cholesterol ratio >6 (men) and >5 (women).Overall prevalence of dyslipidemia was 25% in men and 23% in women. Logistic regression showed that dyslipidemia was strongly associated with body mass index (BMI) in men and with waist circumference (WC) in women, after adjusting for region, age and smoking. Among normal-weight men and women (BMI<25 kg/m2), an increase in the odds for being dyslipidemic was observed between lowest and highest WC quartiles (OR = 3.6, p < 0.001). Among obese men (BMI ≥ 30), the corresponding increase was smaller (OR = 1.2, p = 0.036). A similar weakening was observed among women. Classification tree analysis was performed to assign subjects into classes of risk for dyslipidemia. BMI thresholds (25.4 and 29.2 kg/m2) in men and WC thresholds (81.7 and 92.6 cm) in women came out at first stages. High WC (>84.8 cm) in normal-weight men, menopause in women and regular smoking further defined subgroups at increased risk. Conclusion: standard categories of BMI and WC, or their combinations, do not lead to optimal risk stratification for dyslipidemia in middle-age adults. Sex-specific adaptations are necessary, in particular by taking into account abdominal obesity in normal-weight men, post-menopausal age in women and regular smoking in both sexes

Abstract

Background: During the last decade, the beneficial changes in lifestyle and in medical care increased average life expectancy, particularly in patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease. Unfortunately this also increased the number of patients, particularly among the elderly, who are susceptible to complications of these conditions such as heart failure. Uncontrolled hypertension is known to be a primary cause of heart failure and is also known to be very prevalent and frequently uncontrolled in the Polish population.Aim: To estimate the prevalence and characteristics of heart failure among patients of 65 years and older seeking medical care in outpatient clinics in Poland.Methods: The study is a cross-country epidemiological project in which 417 physicians from outpatient clinics were asked to register 50 consecutive patients aged 65 years and above seeking medical care for any cause. Information on case history, physical examination (diagnosis of heart failure, NYHA class, heart failure symptoms), laboratory tests (resting ECG, chest X-ray, echocardiogram) and data concerning pharmacology management during the 2 weeks prior to the index visit was obtained.Results: Over 5 months, 19877 eligible patients (7324 men and 12553 women) presented to the 417 participating physicians (90% physicians registered 46-50 patients). Among the patients, 53% were diagnosed with heart failure (3901 men and 6678 women), prevalence did not differ by gender. Among patients with heart failure there were 38% of men in NYHA class III or IV and 34% of women. Coronary heart disease was a predominant cause of heart failure in 87% of men (26% of cases with isolated coronary heart disease, 53% with concomitant hypertension and 8% with other diseases), while percentages for women were 80% (15%, 61% and 4%, respectively). Isolated hypertension was a further cause of heart failure in 8% of men and 13% of women. Cardiac arrhythmia was found in approximately 20% of patients, enlargement of heart size in 32% of patients and peripheral leg edema in 54% of men and 64% of women. These symptoms increased with age. Chest X-ray revealed cardiomegaly in 68% of men and women and increased cardiothoracic ratio (>50%) in approximately 40% of patients. From resting ECGs, cardiac arrhythmia was recorded in 21% of patients with heart failure, with atrial fibrillation as a predominant disorder (19%). Left ventricular hypertrophy on resting ECG was noted in 42% of men and women and old myocardial infarction or cardiac ischemia was diagnosed in 71% of men and 66% of women.Conclusions: (1) Heart failure was diagnosed in over half of outpatients aged 65 and older; in more than a third of these it was NYHA class III and IV. (2) Outpatients with heart failure had a high frequency of co-existing diseases such as arrhythmia, coronary heart disease and hypertension. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Fibrinogen and factor VII activity are known to be related to atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, but population differences in clotting factors and modifiable characteristics that influence their levels have not been widely explored.Methods: This paper examines correlates of plasma fibrinogen concentration and factor VII activity in 2443 men and women aged 35-64 in random samples selected from the residents in two districts in urban Warsaw (618 men and 651 women) and from rural Tarnobrzeg Province (556 men and 618 women) screened in 1987-1988, and assesses which characteristics might explain urban-rural differences. Fibrinogen and factor VII activity were determined using coagulation methods.Results: Fibrinogen was 12.9 mg/dl higher in men and 14.1 mg/dl higher in women in Tarnobrzeg compared to Warsaw. Factor VII activity was higher in Warsaw (9.2% in men and 15.3% in women). After adjustment for selected characteristics, fibrinogen was higher in smokers compared to non-smokers by 28 mg/dl in men and 22 mg/dl in women. In women, a 15 mg/dl increase in HDL-cholesterol was associated with a 10 mg/dl decrease in fibrinogen (P < 0.01). After adjustment for other variables, a higher factor VII activity in Warsaw remained significant (a difference of 9.4% in men and 14.8% in women). Lower fibrinogen in Warsaw remained significant only in women (15.4 mg/dl difference).Conclusions: The study confirmed that sex, age, BMI, smoking and blood lipids are related to clotting factors. However, with the exception of gender differences and smoking, associations between clotting factors and other variables were small and of questionable practical importance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

During an epidemiological study concerning the fate of diabetics in Warsaw, 2,356 subjects (aged 35–68 years with duration of diabetes mellitus of 3–11 years) were investigated with particular relevance to the presence of diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, and hypertension in their parents and siblings. Diabetics were classified into the following groups: insulin dependent, insulin independent nonobese, insulin independent obese, and a group in whom the distinction between insulin dependence and insulin independence was unclear. The findings in these groups were compared with the frequencies of these diseases in a random sample of the general population. There was an excess of diabetes in close relatives of all the diabetic groups. This was highest for insulin independent non-obese diabetics. There was no difference in the prevalence of coronary heart disease and hypertension in close relatives of insulin dependent diabetics when compared with the general population, but these were twice as prevalent in close relatives of the insulin independent non-obese group. Obese insulin independent diabetics reported a similar excess of coronary heart disease and hypertension in siblings, but the excess was less marked in parents. The prevalence of these diseases in families of probands with unclassified diabetes was intermediate between the other two groups. These results demonstrate an aggregation of diabetes mellitus with coronary heart disease and hypertension in families of insulin independent non-obese diabetics. This provides further evidence for heterogeneity in diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

The Poland-US Agreement for Health Cooperation has as its goal the sharing of scientific information in cardiovascular disease epidemiology between the two countries. Patterns of cardiovascular disease and identification of risk factors were investigated through two large epidemiologic studies, the Pol-Monica Study in Poland and the US Lipid Research Clinics Program Prevalence Study in the United States. These two studies are described with regard to methodological issues, comparability of data collection procedures, and demographic and behavioral characteristics of the two populations involved. Mean blood pressure, lipids, and body mass indices of participants in these studies are also compared.

Abstract

Three diverse samples of men and women aged 35-64 years living in urban Poland, rural Poland, and the United States, are described and subsequently analyzed by multiple regression methods. Total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and the natural logarithm (ln) of triglycerides are treated separately as dependent variables, with several demographic, behavioral, and biologic factors as independent variables. In the analyses of total cholesterol, systolic blood pressure was statistically significant in men and women in all three samples, while Quetelet index, cigarette smoking, age, ethanol consumption, and education were significant in at least one of the samples. In the LDL cholesterol analyses, Quetelet index and cigarette smoking were the predominant variables; in the HDL cholesterol analyses, Quetelet index, cigarette smoking, ethanol consumption, and age were key variables; and in the ln triglycerides analyses, Quetelet index, cigarette smoking, education, and systolic blood pressure were significant.

Abstract

Three diverse samples of men and women aged 35-64 years living in urban Poland, rural Poland, and the United States are described and subsequently analyzed using systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure separately as dependent variables in multiple regression. Several demographic, behavioral, and biologic factors are included in the models as independent variables. Heart rate, Quetelet index, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and the natural logarithm of triglycerides were statistically significant in accounting for variation in systolic pressure in men in all three samples, whereas only heart rate and Quetelet index were significant in women in all samples. In the analysis of diastolic pressure, Quetelet index, heart rate, and ethanol consumption were statistically significant in men in all three samples, while only Quetelet index and heart rate were significant in women in all samples.

Abstract

This study evaluates the relation between total serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and subsequent total, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality. These data are from 4,946 US and 5,198 Polish men and women aged 35 to 64 years at baseline with mortality follow-up over 13 years. Total cholesterol showed a U-shaped or J-shaped relation to age-adjusted total and cancer mortality across all samples, with significance only in Polish women. The multivariable adjusted relative risk for total and cancer mortality was higher in the lowest cholesterol category only in Poland and significant only for cancer. Cardiovascular mortality was positively related to cholesterol, but only in Polish men and US women was mortality significantly higher in the highest versus the lowest cholesterol category. The multivariable adjusted relative risk of cardiovascular death was greater in the highest versus the lowest cholesterol category, but this trend was significant only in the US. HDL cholesterol was inversely related to total (significant only in US men) and cardiovascular mortality (significant only in US and Polish men). A similar, but not significant, association of HDL cholesterol was found with cancer mortality. The multivariable adjusted relative risk of total mortality was inversely related to HDL cholesterol significant in both the US and Poland. The relative risk of cardiovascular mortality was significantly lower at higher HDL cholesterol levels in all samples. The relative risk of cancer mortality was highest and significant at the lowest HDL cholesterol level in the US and Poland. Elevated triglycerides were associated with increased risk of total and cardiovascular mortality, but this trend was significant only in the US. Cancer mortality was not significantly related to triglycerides. The present study indicates that in geographically and culturally diverse populations, the relation of lipids with cardiovascular mortality is similar. The relation with total and cancer mortality varies by country, gender, and lipids. This suggests that relations of total and cancer mortality with lipids or lipoproteins are weaker than associations with cardiovascular mortality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Few studies have evaluated between-country differences in medical care and survival after acute myocardial infarction, and none have compared the US with countries from Eastern Europe. Comparable data from the US (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study [US-ARIC]) and Poland (Multinational Monitoring of Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular Disease project [Pol-MONICA]) were developed. From 1987 through 1993, a total of 3,694 patients were hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction events in the 2 Pol-MONICA communities and 4,801 in the 4 US-ARIC communities. Patients in the US-ARIC were 1.7 times more likely to be treated in a coronary care unit and received cardiac procedures, calcium channel blockers, and thrombolytic agents significantly more often than patients in the Pol-MONICA. The use of antiplatelet agents, nitrates, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and beta blockade agents was similar in both countries. Case fatality (28-day) rates after hospitalized acute myocardial infarction were nearly identical (men, 7% in Pol-MONICA vs 6% in US-ARIC; women, 9% in Pol-MONICA vs 8% in US-ARIC). However, when fatal coronary heart disease events not associated with a hospitalized myocardial infarction were included, the US-ARIC rates were less than half than those seen in Pol-MONICA. Substantial differences in treatment of hospitalized acute myocardial infarction between countries did not translate into a survival advantage for patients reaching clinical attention. Differences in case severity, arising from the high out-of-hospital coronary death rate in Poland may play an important role in this finding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background and aims: The association between adiposity measures and dyslipidemia has seldom been assessed in a multipopulational setting. Methods and results: 27 populations from Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Canada (WHO MONICA project) using health surveys conducted between 1990 and 1997 in adults aged 35-64 years (n = 40,480). Dyslipidemia was defined as the total/HDL cholesterol ratio >6 (men) and >5 (women).Overall prevalence of dyslipidemia was 25% in men and 23% in women. Logistic regression showed that dyslipidemia was strongly associated with body mass index (BMI) in men and with waist circumference (WC) in women, after adjusting for region, age and smoking. Among normal-weight men and women (BMI84.8 cm) in normal-weight men, menopause in women and regular smoking further defined subgroups at increased risk. Conclusion: standard categories of BMI and WC, or their combinations, do not lead to optimal risk stratification for dyslipidemia in middle-age adults. Sex-specific adaptations are necessary, in particular by taking into account abdominal obesity in normal-weight men, post-menopausal age in women and regular smoking in both sexes

Abstract

Aim: To compare food consumption trends (1984-2001) with cardiovascular mortality trends (1984-2002) in an adult population of right-bank Warsaw residents and establish the delay between dietary changes and mortality reduction., Methods: Cardiovascular mortality rates for the 1984-2002 period, calculated based on the Central Statistical Office data and the results of individual evaluation of nutrition patterns in 4 independent Pol-MONICA cross-sectional studies (1984, 1988, 1993 and 2001) were analysed., Results: The cardiovascular mortality rate in right-bank Warsaw inhabitants tended to increase until 1991, and then a decline was observed -- in 2002 in comparison to 1991 the mortality rate in both genders decreased by over 50%. From 1984 to 2001 a significant decrease in the following dietary factors was found: total energy intake, dietary cholesterol, and Keys score reflecting atherogenicity of the diet and animal fats. In contrast trends of vegetable fats intake increased. The favourable changes in the dietary habits of Warsaw inhabitants were correlated with the reduction of cardiovascular mortality (R2 within the range of 0.35-0.95), and the strongest relationship between these facts occurred after 7 years., Conclusions: A positive tendency observed with respect to nutrition patterns of right-bank Warsaw inhabitants contributed to the reduction of cardiovascular mortality.

Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the concentration and distribution of homocysteine in random samples of men and women aged 20-74 from two populations: urban (Warsaw) and industrial-rural (former Tarnobrzeg Province), and the estimation of relationship between selected cardiovascular risk factors and homocysteine concentration. In 2001 in 617 men and 657 women homocysteine level, lipids profile, glucose, folic acid, vitamin B12 concentration, blood pressure and alcohol intake were determined. The mean (geometric) homocysteine concentration was 10.9 micro mol/L in men and 9.6 micro mol/L in women. There were no differences in the homocysteine concentration and distribution between regions according to sex. The homocysteine level was connected with folic acid and vitamin B12 concentration in both genders. Moreover, in men was recorded relationship between homocysteine and body mass index, cholesterol level, alcohol intake, and in women between homocysteine and daily number of cigarettes smoked.

Abstract

Purpose: To examine the relationships of total and cause-specific mortality to serum cholesterol in four diverse populations., Methods: Chinese, Polish, Russian, and US population-based samples were studied. The relationship between cholesterol levels and mortality was assessed by Cox proportional hazard regression with restricted piecewise cubic splines., Results: The cholesterol and total mortality relationship was statistically significantly J-shaped for all men combined. In country-specific relationships, cholesterol was significantly, linearly, and positively related to total mortality in Russian and US men. For women, the relationship was non-linear, but not statistically significant, and became statistically significant upon adjustment for other risk factors. For Polish women, a statistically significant inverse relationship existed. CHD mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality increased linearly with cholesterol in Polish, Russian, and US men and the aggregate of men, but there was no relationship for women. Cancer mortality was not related to cholesterol except for the Polish cohort and Russian women, where there was an inverse relationship., Conclusions: Serum cholesterol was a strong, consistent predictor of CHD and CVD mortality in Polish, Russian, and US men despite their social diversity. In contrast to CHD mortality, the relation of cholesterol to total mortality and non-CVD mortality varied by country and gender.

Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the level of lipid risk factors in a random sample of Warsaw population aged 35-64 years, 764 men and 775 women, were screened within framework of the Pol-MONICA Warsaw Study. The lipids were determined by enzymatic methods in laboratory controlled by CDC Lipid Standardization Program in Atlanta. In the screened sample the observed levels of total cholesterol (5.76 +/- 1.01 and 5.68 +/- 1.03 mmol/l respectively in men and in women) and LDL cholesterol (3.67 +/- 0.90 and 3.56 +/- 0.94 mmol/l respectively) were rather high what can indicate on rather high coronary risk of Warsaw population. On the other hand the high mean level of HDL cholesterol (1.36 +/- 0.36 and 1.53 +/- 0.35 mmol/l respectively) and its subfractions HDL2 (0.24 in men and 0.39 mmol/l in women) as well as HDL3 (1.12 and 1.14 mmol/l respectively) observed in this sample can decrease this global risk. The compared mean level of cholesterol in lipoprotein fractions in the group of investigated persons with and without clinical manifestations of coronary heart disease confirm the observed in the other studies the higher mean levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in persons with coronary heart disease.

Abstract

62 patients with hyperlipidemia II and hypertension were 8 weeks on low fat and low cholesterol diet (acc. to EAS recommendations). If LDL-Ch > or = 4.1 mmol/l the diet was continued and 12 weeks treatment by fluvastatin (Lescol, Sandoz Pharma Ltd) started with control every 4 weeks Preliminary dosage 20 mg once daily in the evening increased to 40 mg if LDL-Ch > 3.5 mmol/l. After 12 weeks the mean level of T.Chol decreased by 21%, LDL-Ch by 29%, LDL-Ch/HDL-Ch by 31% and T.Chol/HDL-Ch by 24%. HDL-Ch increased by 8% and TG decreased by 5% but not significantly. The first goal of treatment (LDL-Ch < 4.14 mmol/l) achieved 73% and second (LDL-Ch < or = 3.5 mmol/l)-43.3% patients. In 2 patients treatment was discontinued (in one due to severe alimentary symptoms and in second-due to infection of respiratory tract with increase of SGOT and SGPT) and in next 2 the dosage was decreased to 20 mg/day (due to transitory alimentary symptoms).
