Abstract

Using the method specified in the WHO-MONICA Project, we monitored the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) in the Saku district. When it comes to the trends over a period of 10 years from 1989, we did not observe significant changes, nor did we witness an increase in the incidence, which is ascribable to the aging of population. The average age of women with MI remained unchanged, whereas there were signs of a slight rise for men. Sudden death is more likely to occur in patients with the severest case of MI, so that community based studies in which the local public health center takes the lead are required to come to grips with the full particulars. In the meantime, there is the need for studies in which whether farm workers are involved is spotlighted, and it would be significant if the trends in MI mortality and morbidity in the farming populace were taken up as a research theme for our Association.
