[Coronary risk factors and their relation to psychosocial factors in females with myocardial infarct].
237 female patients aged 31-76 years with documented first myocardial infarction were examined on an average of 3 month after the acute event. Risk factors of coronary heart disease, sociobiological and psychosocial variables were assessed via standardized questionnaire. Risk factors were correlated with social characteristics, somatic and psychosocial variables.


RESULTS
1. Hyperlipoproteinemia is correlated with risk factors of nutrition (hypercholesterinemia resp. hypertriglyceridemia, obesity). 2. The analysis of smoking habits reveals a positive correlation with social characteristics (e.g. professional status) and also with the amount of experienced stress. 3. The use of oral contraceptives corresponded with young age of fertile women and also with professional status. Furthermore a correlation with a positive working attitude and smoking behavior was found.
