BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) represents the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in the Czech Republic. The aim of this study is to analyze long-term cardiovascular diseases (CVD) mortality, identify predictors of outcome and to validate the Framingham risk function in men from the Czech Republic. METHODS A 20-year primary prevention study of atherosclerosis risk factors in 1417 men from Prague aged 38-53 years was launched in 1975 (STULONG). RESULTS When analyzing CVD mortality, heavy smokers had hazard higher than non-smokers and light smokers (p < 0.0001); hypertensives higher than normotensives (p < 0.0001); men with hypercholesterolemia higher than those with normal cholesterol (p = 0.0432), and university-educated men lower than elementary-educated men (p = 0.0006). In 1980-1984, the age specific mortality from CVD in men from STULONG was higher (p = 0.0132) than in the Czech Republic, in 1985-1994 insignificantly lower. The Framingham risk function underestimated the absolute 10-year risk of CAD across the quintile of the risk (p < 0.0001), with 63% discrimination. CONCLUSIONS In STULONG, the mortality from CVD was significantly associated with known risk factors (hypertension, smoking, hypercholesterolemia, education); the Framingham risk function underestimated the absolute 10-year risk of CAD.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
D011322 Primary Prevention Specific practices for the prevention of disease or mental disorders in susceptible individuals or populations. These include HEALTH PROMOTION, including mental health; protective procedures, such as COMMUNICABLE DISEASE CONTROL; and monitoring and regulation of ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS. Primary prevention is to be distinguished from SECONDARY PREVENTION and TERTIARY PREVENTION.
