title: [Cardiovascular disease, body weight, nutrition and age].
abstract: In 979 adipose (236 males and 743 females) test persons and 341 test persons with normal weight (149 males and 192 females) at the age from 18 to 55 years nutrition anamnestic, clinical, biochemical, anthropometrical and social-economic examinations were carried out. Our results on the frequency of coronary insufficiency and hypertension in adipose persons could clearly confirm that this in males as well as in females in all age groups was higher than the frequency in persons with normal weight. In the comparison of the eating habit between test persons with normal weight and overweight with coronary insufficient and hypertension and without these diseases became evident that there is a significant connection between the uptake of energy, the consumption of saturated fatty acids, cholesterol, carbohydrates and the coronary insufficiency and hypertension. Preventive and curative measures for influencing coronary risk factors are therefore necessary.
