[Main coronary disease risk factors in metallurgy workers].
The authors investigated the extension of major coronary risk factors among metal-flatten workers. In the whole population the percentage of these factors was as follows: hypertension 14,4%, hypercholesterolemia, 17.7%, hyperglycemia 6,5%, overweight 35% and cigarette smoking 61,3%. The extension of the risk factors is dependent on age and increases with age. No significant correlation was found between these factors and working conditions. In comparison to other investigations carried out in Poland the examined population exhibited considerable tobacco smoking, overweight, hyperglycemia and hypercholesterolemia.
