Abstract

The mortality from ischemic heart disease in Denmark has changed from a steady increase towards a decrease also in younger males during the 1980s. During this period, the Glostrup Population Studies have registered the incidence of myocardial infarction, risk factor changes and changes in medical care in Copenhagen county (320,000 inhabitants) as part of WHO MONICA, which compares 39 centres in 26 countries. The incidence of myocardial infarction during the first three years, 1982-1984, of the Heart Register, DAN-MONICA at Glostrup Hospital, is reported. The register is complete and valid. If the age specific incidence of myocardial infarction in Denmark was as in this survey, the results indicate an age standardized incidence for the Danish population including all age groups over the age of 25 of 5.58 per 1000 per year (7.48 per 1000 adult males and 3.99 per 1000 adult females).
