[Frequency of ischemic cardiopathy in different types of work activities]. / Frequenza della cardiopatia ischemica in differenti tipi di attività lavorativa.

The Authors refer the Health Surveillance outcomes on 3185 workers of Campania region from 1996 to 2001: CHD frequencies and relationship between the individual (age, BMI, smoking, serum cholesterol) and the occupational risks factors (work strain and shift). All risk factors increase the frequencies of CHD, but the work strain and the shift determinate an upper increase of the relative risk. The Authors suggest far reaching programs of Health Surveillance, useful to define and to control the specific work risks and to improve the worksite health promotion.
