Résumé

Le taux de mortalité, standardisé par âge, pour les myocardiopathies ischémiques est plus élevé dans la Suisse alémanique que dans la Suisse romande. La mortalité due aux autres formes de cardiopathies ne compense pas cette différence. On constate la même variation régionale de cette mortalité parmi les médecins suisses observés pendant une période de 18 ans; les différences de leurs habitudes de fumer ne peuvent pas expliquer ces taux inégaux de mortalité.

Summary

Age standardized mortality from coronary heart disease was found to be higher in the German speaking parts of Switzerland than in the French speaking parts. Mortality from other diseases of the heart does not show a contrary gradient. The same pattern was confirmed among a cohort of Swiss physicians, observed over a 18-year period. Differences in smoking habits cannot explain the differential mortality rates.
