SAMMENDRAGBetydningen av ekteskapelig status for risikofaktorer og dødelighet av hjerte-karsykdommer og alle årsakerhar blitt studert hos menn og kvinner som var 35-49 år ved innkalling til hjerte-karundersøkelse. Andelensom mottok uførepensjon, var høyere blant ugifte enn gifte. Etter eksklusjon av uførepensjonerte og hjertekarsykevar systolisk og diastolisk blodtrykk høyere hos ugifte enn gifte, både for menn og kvinner. Andeldagligrøykere var klart høyest blant skilte/separerte. Gifte menn var mest fysisk aktive i fritiden. Justert foralder, dagligrøyking, diastolisk blodtrykk, serum totalkolesterol, kroppshøyde, kroppsmasseindeks ogfysisk aktivitet i fritiden, hadde ugifte og skilte/separerte menn en relativ risiko for totaldød i forhold tilgifte på henholdsvis 1,32 (95% konfidensintervall (KI): 1,17–1,49) og 1,46 (KI: 1,08–1,95). Ugifte kvinnerhadde en justert relativ risiko i forhold til gifte kvinner på 1,32 (KI: 1,01–1,73). Ugifte menn hadde høyeredødelighet av hjerneslag enn gifte menn, med en justert relativ risiko på 1,72 (KI: 1,02–2,89). Ugifte mennhadde ingen signifikant overdødelighet av koronar hjertesykdom i forhold til gifte menn etter justering,men for alle hjerte-karsykdommer samlet, hadde ugifte menn en justert relativ risiko på 1,28 (KI:1,07–1,53) i forhold til gifte.Selmer RM. Marital status, risk factors and total and cardiovascular mortality. An 18-year follow-upstudy of 28,170 men and 26,235 women in three Norwegian counties.Nor J Epidemiol ENGLISH SUMMARYThe relationship between marital status, risk factors and total and cardiovascular mortality has been studiedin a total of 28,170 men and 26,235 women who, at the age of 35-49 years were invited to the firstcardiovascular screening in Finnmark (1974-75), Sogn og Fjordane (1975-76) and Oppland (1976-78). Ahigher percentage of unmarried than married men and women received disability pensions. After excludingpeople receiving disability pensions and people with known cardiovascular disease at screening, systolicblood pressure was 6 mm higher in unmarried than in married men and 4 mm higher in unmarried than inmarried women. For diastolic blood pressure the differences were 3 mm in men and 2 mm in women. Thepercentage of men who smoked daily was highest amongst those divorced/separated (70%) and lowestamongst the married men (52%). The percentage of female daily smokers was highest amongstdivorced/separated women (60%) and lowest amongst the unmarried (31%). Married men were more oftenthan other groups physically active during leisure. Unmarried and divorced/separated men had higher totalmortality than married men after adjusting for age, daily smoking (yes/no), diastolic blood pressure, serumtotal cholesterol, body height, body mass index and physical activity during leisure (coded 1-4) with arelative risk of RR = 1.32 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.17–1.49) in unmarried men and RR = 1.46 (CI:1.08–1.95) in those divorced/separated. Unmarried women had an adjusted relative risk of total mortalityversus married women of 1.32 (95% CI: 1.01–1.73). Unmarried men had an adjusted relative risk of deathfrom cerebrovascular diseases versus married men of 1.72 (95% CI: 1.02–2.89). After adjustment therewas no significant excess mortality from coronary heart disease in unmarried versus married men, butunmarried men had an adjusted relative risk of death from all cardiovascular causes of 1.28 (95% CI:1.07–1.53) versus married men.1997; 7 (2): 213-219.
