title: [Blood viscosity factor in persons with high and low risk of ischemic heart disease].
abstract: In the years 1986-1987, the blood viscosity factor, the content of haemoglobin in erythrocytes, the concentration of glucose in blood, the lipids and the blood coagulation system were examined in 180 subjects. They were divided into three groups according to the exposure to risk factors: group performing light manual work (L), group performing hard manual work (C) and group of engine drivers (M). No statistically significant differences in regard to age, employment period, number of cigarettes smoked, as well as arterial systolic and diastolic blood pressure were found between the subjects. Workers from group M had the highest body weight (P > 99%) and increased concentration in blood of triglycerides (P > 99% and Apo B (P > 99%. Subjects from group C had the lowest concentration of cholesterol in blood (P > 99%) and the smallest number of members with hypertensions (3.8%) and overweight (7.5%). Group L included the highest percentage of persons with arterial hypertension (17.5%), the highest, among all examined, blood viscosity factor determined at the coagulation rate of 18.6 s-1, and the lowest prothrombin factor (P > 99%).
