In 1982 the participation rate was 79% from 4,807 randomly selected men and women aged 30, 40, 50 and 60 years. In 1992 it was 73% from 2, 226 randomly selected men and women of similar ages. From 1982 to 1992 the proportion of participants stating that exercise, eating a low-fat diet, avoiding being overweight and not smoking reduces the risk of IHD increased. During the same period, the proportion of smokers, of men who did not eat vegetables daily and of men and women who used butter, fat or margarine daily decreased. The changes were seen predominantly among salaried employees and those with a vocational education and social differences were enhanced. The changes in knowledge and lifestyle reflect the topics on which the general educational effort has focused and are in accordance with results from comparable studies in the USA. Apparently, however, only in the higher social classes is the acquired knowledge associated with a change in lifestyle. © European Journal of Public Health ORIGINAL ARTICLES ON OTHER TOPICS nationallicence ischaemic heart disease nationallicence prevention nationallicence lifestyle nationallicence OSLER MERETE Department of Social Medicine, The Panum Institute, University of Copenhagen and The Glostrup Population Studies, Department of Medicine C, Glostrup Hospital, University of Copenhagen Denmark aut SCHROLL MARIANNE The Glostrup Population Studies, Department of Medicine C, Glostrup Hospital, University of Copenhagen Denmark aut The European Journal of Public Health Oxford University Press 5/2(1995), 109-112 1101-1262 5:2<109 1995 5 eurpub https://doi.org/10.1093/eurpub/5.2.109 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/eurpub/5.2.109 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- OSLER MERETE Department of Social Medicine, The Panum Institute, University of Copenhagen and The Glostrup Population Studies, Department of Medicine C, Glostrup Hospital, University of Copenhagen Denmark aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- SCHROLL MARIANNE The Glostrup Population Studies, Department of Medicine C, Glostrup Hospital, University of Copenhagen Denmark aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- The European Journal of Public Health Oxford University Press 5/2(1995), 109-112 1101-1262 5:2<109 1995 5 eurpub Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
