[Return to work and pensioning of state insured myocardial infarction patients (author's transl)].

With reference to an enquiry among a total of 961 patients of a longitudinal myocardial infarction study (replies from 97%) participants in the study and drop-outs were compared with regard to questions on returning to work and pensioning. The results point to the effectiveness of follow-up care within the scope of this longitudinal study which consists essentially of the combination of inpatient curative treatment and regular follow-up outpatient examinations with a six-monthly rhythm. 85% of the participants in the longitudinal study have taken up work again after the infarction compared with only 66% of the drop-outs. At the time of the enquiry in 1976, after an average of 45 months care in the study, 68% of the participants were working, on the other hand only 48% of the drop-outs with an average care of only 4 months were working.

[Children's eating habits at breakfast and snacks between meals (author's transl)].

Detailed inquiries into the eating habits of 86 children attending schools and kindergartens was carried out and a nut-nougat cream spread was evaluated in a 14-day investigation. The selection of food for the snacks requires some correction according to these results e. g. for salt biscuits, sweets, soft drinks. 22% of the parents still compel their children to eat everything up, more than 1/3 leave the purchase of snacks to the children. The nut-nougat cream enjoys enormous popularity as a spread for bread so that even large food undertakings cannot face this development with equanimity. From the nutritional physiology aspect this product is only to be considered positively if spreading of any fat under it can be avoided -- a question of explanation and education, because only then will a superfluity of calories be prevented.

[Social demographic data on myocardial infarction patients (author's transl)].

During a follow-up of 1000 patients of the Höhenried Longitudinal Study, data were obtained on the subject of employment. We established the most important results to be: More than 86% of all the patients at the Höhenried Clinic return to some employment after infarction and rehabilitation stay. This is a comparatively high proportion. Certain occupations apparently have a structure of stress and strain which leads to infarction more readily than other occupations. The sometimes necessary change of occupation after infarction is not always for the best. Often one activity with a danger of infarction is exchanged for another. A detailed investigation of burdensome work situations is the first requirement for prevention and rehabilitation measures.

[Myocardial infarct patients with and without intensive nutrition consultation over several years-- comparison of physiological and social variables].

After three years of experience with change of nutrition in 300 infarction patients of the Höhenried long-term study (150 patients with intensive change of nutrition and 150 patients serving as control group) and 50 randomized study participants from the control group, the following results could be found: 1. In infarction patients, who underwent rehabilitation and follow-up examinations (group with change of nutrition), the increase of the P/S quotient causes no serum cholesterol and serum triglyceride decrease compared with the control group. 2. Alcohol and nicotine consumption cannot be further decreased by intensive nutrition consultation compared with the lasting effect of the comprehensive care. 3. As well, no further weight reduction (no less than the patient obtained during the rehabilitation phase) can be attained in the "nutrition change" and the control group. 4. From the "nutrition change" group more patients took up work again after the infarction compared with the control group, although age and social status are identical in both groups. These results are contradictory to nearly all other studies. We explain this difference by the fact that both groups were under comprehensive care. The care of the patient is a very decisive factor, which is the reason for keeping low the mentioned risk factors.
