Incidence of Coronary Risk Factors and Evidence of Ischemic Heart Disease in a Selected Military Population.

摘要

The purpose of the present study was to: (1) define the incidence of coronary risk factors (CRF) among noncommissioned officers (NCOs) and officers over 35 years of age in the 2d Infantry Division; (2) define the incidence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in this population; (3) asses the level of physical fitness in the division; and (4) determine if the routine routine of CRF and IHD should be recommended for older personnel undergoing a high intensity physical training program. During the period of this study a high intensity jogging program was a mandatory part of the Division's physical training.
