title: [Various aspects of the relation between blood sugar levels and the prevalence of ischemic heart disease among 20 to 69-year-old men and women (a simultaneous epidemiologic study)].
abstract: A random sample of 1,225 male and 1,243 female residents of a Moscow district, aged 20 to 69, has been studied. Their carbohydrate metabolism was assessed by means of an oral glucose tolerance test, and the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD) was made on the basis of a WHO questionnaire and electrocardiography. The incidence of CHD was shown to be unassociated with the distribution of glycemia (both fasting and provoked by the glucose tolerance test) in males, while the association was significant in females. It is suggested that hyperglycemia is important as a coronary risk factor in women only.
