Abstract

The rates of coronary heart disease (CHD) i.e. of myocardial infarction and impending myocardial infarction have been established for certain occupations in the Osijek commune tor the 1980-1984 period. The rates: 1‰ active population. 4.7‰ doctors, 0.4‰ porters and 0.4‰ shop assistants, show the relationship between occupation and CHD in Yugoslavia to be different from that in some other countries. In the developed countries CHD is in negative correlation with the social status whereas in the developing countries this correlation is positive. Results also point to marked differences in the CHD rate for certain occupations in the commune.
