title: [Risk factors of coronary artery disease in males during a 3 year follow up based on a cohort study in a selected region of Lublin].
abstract: To assess changes in risk factors of coronary artery disease, examinations which had been performed in 1981 and 1982 were repeated in males aged 40-59, inhabitants of the district "Czechów" in Lublin. The study was based on Polish Experiment of Coronary Disease Multifactor Prevention assumptions 112 of 203 males investigated in 1981, 1982 underwent repeated examination (attendance rate - 55%). Statistical analysis was performed only in twice examined subjects. Significant increase of blood pressure, body weight, total serum cholesterol and uric acid concentration was stated in comparison with their respective initial values. Significant decrease of HDL-cholesterol and no changes in serum triglycerides concentration were observed. The only positive stated alteration was a lower percentage of tobacco smokers. Diagnosis of coronary artery disease remained unchanged despite of increased risk factors levels (increase of mean Rose's index score from 5 in initial examination to 6.5 in a control one). This high increase in risk factors occurrence allows an unfavourable prognosis for future incidence of coronary artery disease and also demands to undertake vigorous prevention.
