Hypertension and ischemic heart disease in a rural family practice in Israel. 1979

Y Yodfat, and Y Frank, and J Fidel, and C Cohen, and M Eliakim

Prevalence rates of hypertension and ischemic heart disease in a rural community in Israel in 1976 were 9.3% and 2.3%, respectively. The rates were related to age, sex, country of origin, education, occupation, marital status, household crowding, and smoking habits. A multiple regression analysis of all variables showed a significantly positive association between the prevalence of hypertension and age, number of children, Cochin or Moroccan origin, and divorce or widowhood. A negative association was found with agricultural work. The prevalence rate of ischemic heart disease correlated positively with age, Cochin origin, and divorce or widowhood. A stepwise linear regression analysis revealed that these variables accounted for 11.3% and 2.8% of the total variance observed, in hypertension and ischemic heart disease respectively.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
