摘要：

Background. The risk factors underlying coronary heart disease (CHD) are well known. Objective. The purpose of this study was to evaluate risk factors related to secondary prevention of working-age CHD patients. Methods. CHD patients with (n = 139) and without (n = 203) myocardial infarction were selected from a postal questionnaire study (n = 21 101) of randomly selected Finns aged 20-54 years (HeSSup study). Four age- and sex-matched controls were chosen for every patient. Results. CHD patients still smoke, are obese and suffer hangovers more frequently than the control population. Conclusion. The health care system has not succeeded in the secondary prevention of CHD.
