“…In a cross-sectional American study by Khawaja et al [22], a strong increasing trend for the prevalence of hyperlipidaemia, from 39% in 1980-1989 to 73% in 2000-2007, was found among patients below 50 years of age with CAD undergoing PCI. Greek authors suggested that low non-HDL-C level was the strongest risk factors in patients below 36 years of age, and smoking was the strongest non-lipid risk factor [23]. It has also been reported that the basic dyslipidaemia pattern in young patients includes a high triglyceride level and a low HDL-C level [24].…”

A b s t r a c tBackground: Coronary artery disease (CAD) in young adults under 40 years of age is a growing medical, social, psychological and economical problem, related to the prevalence of civilization-related diseases and unhealthy lifestyle. The problem of CAD in young people has not been characterised as well as in older individuals, as the available data mostly come from case reports and small series, often related to genetic aspects and familial occurrence of the disease. Aim:To assess clinical and angiographic characteristics of young adults with CAD and to evaluate in-hospital and long-term mortality in this patient group. The study combined a retrospective and a prospective approach.Methods: A total of 239 patients aged 40 years or younger who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) in the Swietokrzyskie Centre of Cardiology in Kielce in [2001][2002][2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008] were included in this study. Demographic characteristics, risk factor profile, laboratory test results, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic findings, CAG findings, and in-hospital mortality were assessed retrospectively in the selected groups. During the second stage of the study, clinical and mortality data were obtained prospectively in 130 patients (54.4% of the study group) during up to 5 years of follow-up. Results:The mean patient age was 35.1 ± 4.4 years. Men made up 86.2% of the study sample, and the proportion of rural area residents was 54.8%. Among young patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), the most common presentation (52.8%) was ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Angiographically normal coronary arteries were found in 37.2% of CAD patients and in 16.9% of patients with the diagnosis of ACS. The mean degree of coronary artery lumen stenosis was 75.4% in the group with significant atherosclerotic coronary lesions (50-90%) and 95.9% in the group demonstrating a critical coronary obstruction (≥ 90%). Single-vessel disease was identified in 61.9% of patients with a positive result of CAG (stenosis > 50%, CORO(+) group). The most common location of significant atherosclerotic coronary lesions was the left anterior descending artery (61.6%) followed by the right coronary artery (27.4%). The most prevalent conventional cardiovascular risk factors were lipid abnormalities, cigarette smoking and an increased body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m 2 , followed by a family history of CAD and hypertension. The proportion of patients with abnormal lipid profile, cigarette smoking and overweight or obesity was particularly high in the CORO(+) group (85.6%, 83.9%, and 64.4%, respectively). In-hospital mortality rate was low, at 0.7% among ACS patients. Long-term mortality during up to 5 years of follow-up was not so favourable, at 7.75% in ACS patients and 8.5% in the CORO(+) group. Conclusions:The population of young patients with CAD is predominantly male, rural, and characterised by a low socioeconomic status. The aetiology of CAD in this patient group differs significantly from that in older patients a...

“…Analysis with the use of the IMPACT model and data originating from studies from the period 1991-2005 indicate that mortality caused by coronary artery disease has decreased in the last 20 years mainly thanks to changes in lifestyle (54% observed mortality, 37.8% restorative medicine) [3,4]. According to World Health Organisation (WHO) estimations, 3/4 of mortalities caused by CVD can be prevented by proper changes in lifestyle [5].…”

A b s t r a c tBackground: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the main cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Despite the progress in diagnostics and treatment, it is expected that CVD will still be the main cause of death worldwide until at least 2030. From 1991 CVD mortality in Poland systematically decreased, but it is still higher than the average in Western Europe. In 2013 CVDs were the cause of 46% of all deaths in Poland (40.9% in men and 51.1% in women) and 26.9% of deaths among persons under 65 years of age. The epidemiologic assessment of prevalence, control and treatment of CVD risk factors, and monitoring of healthy behaviour and morbidity due to diseases like coronary artery disease, hypertension and diabetes is very important for health policy planning. The WOBASZ II is the newest Polish population based survey, performed in 2013-2014 to evaluate prevalence, control, treatment, and morbidity. The study was the continuation of WOBASZ (2003WOBASZ ( -2005. Aim:To describe the goals and methods of the WOBASZ II study and to present the results of the recruitment. Methods:The WOBASZ II study was planned as a cross-sectional survey of a random sample of Polish residents aged over 20 years. The selection, using the National Identity Card Registry of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was made as a three-stage sampling, stratified according to administrative units (voivodeships), type of urbanisation (commune), and gender. The study protocol consisted of a questionnaire used in face-to-face interviews, physical examination, and blood samples. WOBASZ II was coordinated by the Department of Epidemiology, Cardiovascular Diseases Prevention and Health Promotion of the Institute of Cardiology in Warsaw in cooperation with medical universities in Gdansk, Katowice, Krakow, Lodz, and Poznan.Results: Out of 15,120 persons, 1557 persons were not eligible. Out of eligible persons, 6170 (2760 men and 3410 women) were examined (the response rate 45.5%). The highest response rates were observed in Warminsko-Mazurskie (64.2%), Zachodniopomorskie (58.1%), and Kujawsko-Pomorskie (53.1%). Conclusions:The importance of the WOBASZ study for the monitoring of the health state of Polish society, and for the assessment of prophylaxis efficiency and treatment of CVD and metabolic diseases, as well as for the evaluation of the actions in the field of health promotion, is difficult to overstate. 682INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) due to arteriosclerosis, such as coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, are the main causes of morbidity, invalidity, and premature mortality in developed countries. It is estimated that despite the significant progress in diagnostics and treatment, in the majority of countries CVD will remain the main cause of mortality until at least 2030.Since 1991 mortality caused by CVD in Poland has been decreasing, but it still remains one of the highest in Europe [1]. In 2010 CVDs were the cause of 46.0% of all mortalities in Poland (40.8% in men and 51.8% in women) and the leading ca...

STRESZCZENIECel. Celem niniejszej publikacji jest próba przedstawienia wybranych aspektów partycypacji pielęgniarek w ogólnorozwojowych formach aktywności fi zycznej oraz zajęciach typu: cardio, cardio&muscle, muscle, body&mind oraz rehafi t oferowanych przez kluby fi tness, jak również próba określenia roli i znaczenia zdrowego stylu życia, którego głównym składnikiem jest aktywność fi zyczna w świadomości badanych osób. Materiał i metody. Badania przeprowadzono w grupie 115 pracujących zawodowo pielęgniarek, w przychodniach lub szpitalach na terenie miasta Poznania za pomocą kwestionariusza ankiety oraz wywiadu narracyjnego. Do analizy uzyskanych wyników wykorzystano metodę statystyki opisowej. Wyniki i wnioski. Okazuje się, że wśród respondentek istnieje duża wiedza na temat prozdrowotnego stylu życia oraz korzyści wynikających z systematycznego uczestnictwa w szeroko rozumianej kulturze fi zycznej, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem aktywności fi zycznej w klubach fi tness. W pracy wykazano, że badane kobiety posiadają ogromną wiedzę na temat prozdrowotnego stylu życia oraz doskonałym wzorcem zachowań zdrowotnych. Z narracji respondentek wynika, że teoria na temat prozdrowotnego stylu życia interferuje z ich zachowaniami w czasie wolnym. Taki stan rzeczy wynikać może z wysokiego poziomu wykształ-cenia medycznego, które implikować może wysoką świadomość korzyści wynikających z prozdrowotnego stylu życia.SŁOWA KLUCZOWE: pielęgniarki, prozdrowotny styl życia, aktywność fi zyczna, fi tness, zajęcia: cardio, cardio&muscle, muscle, body&mind oraz rehafi t. ABSTRACTAim. The purpose of this publication is to present selected aspects of nurses' participation in general-purpose physical activities, such as: cardio, cardio & muscle, muscle, body & mind, and reha-fi t activities offered by fi tness clubs, as well as the role and importance of healthy lifestyles, the main component of which is physical activity in consciousness of the people surveyed. Material and methods. The study was conducted in a group of 115 professional nurses, employed in clinics or hospitals in the city of Poznan using a questionnaire survey and a narrative interview. The descriptive statistics method was used to analyze the results. Results and conclusions. It turns out that among the respondents there is a great awareness of the healthy lifestyle and benefi ts of systematic participation in broadly understood physical culture, with particular attention to the physical activity taking place in fi tness clubs. The study has shown that women are a treasure trove of knowledge about healthy lifestyles and a great role model for health. According to respondents, the theory of a healthy lifestyle interferes with their free-time behavior. This may be due to the high level of medical education that implies high awareness of the healthy lifestyle benefi ts.KEYWORDS: nurses, pro-health lifestyle, physical activity, fi tness, cardio, cardio&muscle, muscle, body&mind and reha-fi t classes.
