    Description / Table of Contents: Zusamenfassung An 120 Männern im Alter von 23–60 Jahren aus verschiedenen Beruwfsgruppen mit unterschiedlich schwerer körperlicher Arbeit wurde das Ausmaß der habituelen täglichen körperlichen Aktivät untersucht und zu Risikoindikatoren für Koronarerkrankungen im Beziehung gesetzt. Die tägliche körperliche Aktivität wurde in ihrem beruflichen Teil über ganzschichte arbeitsphysiologische Studien mit Herzfrequenzmessungen mit Hilfe von Cardiocordern und Positionsstudien im Anlehnung an Edholm durchgefürht und, falls nörtig, mit O2-Verbrauchmessungen erfaßt. Die Art der täglichen beruflichen Belastung und Beanspruchung wurde mit einer standardisierten Beobachtungsmethode zur Tätigleitsanalyse (AET) erfaßt. Für den Freizeitbereich wurden die langdauernden Trainingsgewohnheiten retrospektiv über standardisierte Interviewktechniken erhoben. Die wichtigsten Risikofaktoren wurden entsprechend den Vorschalägen der WHO ermittelt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß in ihrer Freizert sportlich inaktive Schwerrauchen, Adipositas und Angina pectoris gegenüber Schwerarbeitern mit hoher sportlicher Aktivität sowie Arbeitern mit leichter körpelicher Aktovität im Beruf, aber großer sportlicher Aktivität in der Freizeit aufweisen. Aufgrund der Untersuchung schmint die Gruppe der Schwerarbeiter ohne ausgleichende körperliche Aktivität in der Freizeit die gleichzeitig eine großen Zigarettenkonsum aufweist, besonders gefährdet zu sein.
    Notes: Summary One hundred twenty men, aged 23–60 years and having various professions participated in studies on relationships between daily physical activity and risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD). The daily physical activity at work was determined by means of heart rate recordings with an ambulatory monitoring system and of activity recordings according to Edholm over the whole shift. Where necessary, oxygen consumption was also measured. The type of load and strain at work was assessed with a standardised German version of the “Position Analysis Questionnaire” (AET). The habitual leisure time training behaviour was determined retrospectively by standardised interview technique. The risk factors were determined in accordance to WHO recommendations. Workers with high physical load on the job but with low energy expenditure during leisure time had a higher prevalence of the risk factors blood pressure, cigarette smoking, adiposity, and chest pain than workers with similar or lighter jobs but with physically active leisure habits. The intensely smoking workers with physically heavy work and inactive leisure seem to carry the highest risk.

    Notes: Summary A retrospective cohort study was carried out in a firm in the chemical industry. The sick records of 370 shift workers in a 12-h shift rota and of 270 day workers with comparable work were analyzed from 1966 to 1977. The incidence of sickness in general did not differ between permanent shift workers and day workers, but was highest in shift workers who transferred later to day work mostly for medical reasons. Furthermore, on the average, shift workers were sick for longer periods than day workers. Significantly more shift workers than day workers consulted the occupational health services about gastrointestinal complaints than day workers. Shift workers had more frequent gastrointestinal diseases than day workers and more severe ones such as peptic ulcers. Gastrointestinal diseases were more frequent in the following groups of the shift workers: Young (21 to 25 years) and unmarried subjects, heavy smokers and subjects with a past history of gastrointestinal diseases. No differences between shift workers and day workers could be detected concerning cardiovascular diseases including myocardial infarction. Psychosomatic disorders were seldom diagnosed and did not differ between shift and day workers. Surprisingly, skeletal diseases including the sequelae of accidents and injuries occurred more often in the shift workers' cohort; the possible cause of this was a higher incidence of moonlightning in shift workers or other activities beside work. The need for prospective follow-up studies is emphasized.
