Özet
The coronary heart disease and its risk factors were investigated in Konya district which is situated in central Anatolia, Turkey. In this study 280 asymptomatic persons, who were middle aged and over (?40), were selected at random from Bozkir, a small town of Konya, which shows a homogenous structure of population. Cardiovascular system of all the cases were examined. ECG and teleradiography were taken. In 54 cases (19.3% ) hypertension, in 11 cases (3.9%) hyperglycemia and in 58 male cases (59.8%) smoking were found. Obesity was seen in 17% of male and 27% of female cases. Hypercholesterolemia in 12% of cases and hypertriglyceridemia in 7.4% of cases were also seen. In 40 cases, coronary heart disease was determined. Incidence of hypertension was increasing with age, but the rate of cigarette-smoking was not changed. Under the light of positive results of the struggle with the reversible major risk factors, periodic examinations in cases with high risk, medical and preventive treatment procedures were pointed out clearly as important issues for the physician.
