title: [Incidence and mortality from acute myocardial infarction in the cohort of Mayak workers].
abstract: Incidence and mortality from acute myocardial infarction in the cohort of Mayak workers Southern Urals Biophysics Institute (SUBI), Ozyorsk, Chelyabinsk Region Incidence and mortality from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was analyzed for nuclear workers at the Mayak PA with regard to non-radiation (gender, age, smoking, hypertension, alcohol consumption, and body mass index) and radiation (total dose from external gamma-rays, 239Pu body burden) factors. The study indicated that incidence and mortality from AMI in the study cohort significantly depended on gender, age, smoking and hypertension, which was consistent with the literature data. Rates of incidence and mortality from AMI were significantly higher for males chronically exposed to external gamma-rays in total dose over 1.0 Gy as shown by the univariate analysis without adjustment for non-radiation factors.
