title: Prediction of men at high risk of heart attack and its relevance to pilots.
abstract: In this paper we have extrapolated from data on the general population of middle-aged men and made suggestions for risk prediction and prevention policy in aircrew. As suggested previously, it would be helpful in future if data on the risk of heart attack in pilots could be generated from a central recording system covering both current pilots and those who retire for whatever reason. Indefinite follow-up information on ischaemic events would also be particularly helpful.
