title: [Quetelet's index in the male population aged 20 to 59 (epidemiological autopsy research in Riga)].
abstract: The increased body mass (Quetelet index greater than or equal to 30.0) in 1447 autopsies of Riga's male population aged 20-59 years was revealed in 8.6% of all cases. A significant rise of mean values of the Quetelet index was found in the presence of arterial hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, increased thickness of subcutaneous fat and diabetes mellitus. The mean value of the Quetelet index was significantly higher in cases of coronary and cerebrovascular death victims than that seen in the 20-59-year old group and apparently healthy persons.
