[Study of the influence of vital exhaustion on myocardial infarction risk in a male population aged 25 to 64 years].
The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of vital exhaustion (VE) on the 8-year risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in men aged 25 to 64 years old. A random representative sample of male inhabitants of one of Novosibirsk districts, aged 25 to 64 years, was included in the WHO MONICA-psychosocial program. Within 8 years (1994-2000) all the cases of MI in the cohort were studied using the WHO Acute Myocardial Infarction Register project. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS-10 software package. The relative risk (RR) of MI was evaluated using a Cox proportional regressive model. The prevalence of VE in subjects with MI was 65.8%. The 8-year RR of MI in men aged 25 to 64 years was 2.16 times higher (p < 0.05) in presence of VE and was the highest in widowers, divorced men, subjects with incomplete secondary or primary education, men of hard or moderate physical labor, and pensioners. The results show that RR of MYis associated with VE, which, in its turn, is directly related to social and economic status.
