Abstract: | The study was to determine whether certain personal habits, social attitudes and evaluations are associated with age-adjusted coronary heart disease risk factors and estimated risk of CHD in a cross-section of a male population relatively homogeneous in terms of social class, status and occupation. Significant correlation between age-adjusted systolic BP and frequency of cigarette smoking was found. Frequencies of cigarette smoking and alcohol use gave the highest correlating two-variable function with both age-adjusted serum cholesterol level and CHD risk measure. Age-adjusted diastolic BP showed no significant correlation with any of the social variables. |
