    Notes: Abstract Twelve risk factors previously identified as predictors of all causes of death in a 25-year follow-up of a sample of 1530 men aged 40–59 at entry, have been tested as predictors of specific causes of death. They were age (AGE), mean blood pressure (MBP), cigarette smoking (CIG), forced expiratory volume (FEV), arm circumference (ARM), father-life status (FHAS), mother-life status (MHOS), shoulder-pelvis ratio (SPR), vital capacity (VC), arcus senilis (ARCS), serum cholesterol (CHOL) and xantelasma (XANT). Using the proportional hazards model and considering coronary heart diseases, strokes, cancers, violent deaths, and other causes as end-points, AGE and MBP were significant predictors for all conditions, including violent deaths. CIG predicted coronary heart disease, stroke and cancer; FEV, VC, and ARM were protective for all end-points but significant only for a few of them. FHAS and MHOS were positively associated with all end-points but significant only for a few of them. ARCS and XANT were predictive for only a few conditions and, surprisingly, XANT was a significant risk factor for cancer. Finally CHOL was specifically predictive only for coronary heart disease.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Vengono riportati i dati riguardanti il sistema di sorveglianza per gli eventi cerebrovascolari relativi al periodo 1983–1985 nell'Area Latina nell'ambito del Progetto MONICA, su una popolazione target di circa 400.000 soggetti di età 25–74. Gli eventi cerebrovascolari raccolti in 3 anni sono stati 2245: i casi fatali sono stati 1016 (562 maschi e 454 femmine), i casi non fatali sono stati 1229 (742 maschi e 487 femmine). I tassi di attacco per 10.000 per anno sono stati 21.96 per i maschi e 15.20 per le femmine. Per definizione tutti i casi non fatali hanno ricevuto il trattamento in ospedale o in casa di cura; per i casi fatali il 68% ha ricevuto il trattamento in una struttura sanitaria (ospedale, clinica) il 32% è deceduto senza osservazione medica. La letalità a 28 giorni è risultata del 43% per i maschi e del 48% per le femmine.
    Notes: Abstract Data are presented on the cerebrovascular events collected by a surveillance system during 1983–1985 in the MONICA Project-Area Latina, on a target population of about 400,000 subjects aged 25–74. The cerebrovascular events observed in 3 years were 2245: the fatalities (within 28 days from the onset of symptoms) numbered 1016 (562 males and 454 females), and the non fatal cases 1229 (742 males and 482 females). The attack rates per 10,000 per year were 21.96 for males and 15.20 for females. By definition, all the non fatal cases received some kind of treatment in hospital or nursing home. Among the fatal cases 68% received a treatment in a hospital or nursing home, while 32% died without medical attention. The fatality rate within 28 days was 43% for males and 48% for females.
