Vv. Konstantinov et al., RISK-FACTORS, ISCHEMIC-HEART-DISEASE AND ATHEROSCLEROSIS AMONG URBAN ABORIGINAL AND MIGRANT MALE-POPULATION OF SOME GEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS, Kardiologia, 37(6), 1997, pp. 19-23
Prevalence of ischemic heart disease, coronary risk factors, and nutri
tional habits in samples of urban aboriginal and migrant male populati
ons in some geographical regions were correlated with postmortem exten
t of vascular atherosclerotic lesions. Nationality associated characte
ristics of development of atheroslerosis were revealed: in migrant com
pared to autochthon men higher risk factor profile and atherogenic die
t corresponded to greater extent of vascular atherosclerosis and more
pronounced lumen obstruction.
