Zusammenfassung:The results from Helsinki Coronary Register during the period 1970–1977 show that the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among people under 65 years of age reached its peak in 1972 and declined annually by 2–8% from 1972 to 1977. The trend was clearest in patients under 50 years, but statistical analysis showed that no 5-year age group, either in women or men, differed statistically significantly from the general declining trend.
