“…The multivariate regression analyses show that the relatively unhealthy lifestyle and limited psychosocial resources of poorly educated women in 2002 compared to 1992 do indeed partly explain their poor health. Our study confirms that for men as well, lifestyle factors and psychosocial resources play a major role in explaining socio-economic health differences 12 . We examine lifestyle and psychosocial resources as explanations for educational differences in health, but other pathways still remain to be examined in future studies.…”

“…We examine lifestyle and psychosocial resources as explanations for educational differences in health, but other pathways still remain to be examined in future studies. Possible options might be to explore material resources, living conditions, health care, childhood experiences and coping with stress 11,12,28 . All these factors have been related to educational status and health and may change over cohorts, providing additional explanations for the increasing educational differences over time.…”

“…In the Finmonica MI Register Study held in Finland, low-income status was associated with excess mortality rate after an ACS [16,17]. Similar findings have been reported in Canada and Taiwan [18,19]. It seems that low income may affect health status because such patients are prone to unhealthy behaviour patterns, including smoking and alcohol consumption.…”

A b s t r a c t Background:The effect of anxiety and depression on patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) warrants investigation, especially during periods of economic crisis. Aim:To investigate the relation between anxiety and depression in patients presenting with ACS due to financial crisis and to investigate whether these two entities could predict long-term cardiovascular mortality. Methods and results:Anxiety and depression symptoms were assessed in 350 patients (210 men) presenting with ACS, with 70 (20%) patients showing elevated scores (Hellenic Heart Failure Protocol). Over a mean follow-up of 48 months there were 36 (10%) cardiovascular deaths. Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for other prognostic factors (including age, sex, marital status, creatinine levels, left ventricular ejection fraction, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, previous hospitalisation, and baseline medications) showed that elevated anxiety and depression scores significantly predicted cardiovascular mortality (primary outcome) and all-cause mortality.Conclusions: Elevated anxiety and depression symptoms are related to cardiovascular mortality due probably to financial crisis, even after adjustment for other prognostic indicators in patients with ACS, who received optimised medical treatment.

“…Velik vpliv na prisotnost bolezenskih simptomov ima tudi socioekonomski status (SES), ki opisuje položaj posameznika v družbi in je opredeljen z izobrazbo, zaposlenostjo, dohodkom in z družbenim statusom. Tako je slabše zdravstveno stanje jasno povezano z nižjim socioekonomskim statusom, torej nižjo izobrazbo (7,8) in nižjimi dohodki (9)(10)(11)(12). Kljub temu se zdravje z višanjem dohodka izboljšuje le do neke mere, nato pa se rast zaustavi ali začne celo upadati zaradi t. i. bolezni izobilja, kot sta debelost in sladkorna bolezen (13).…”

IZVLEČEKKljučne besede: bolezenski simptomi, prevalenca, napovedni dejavniki, slovensko prebivalstvo Namen. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, kateri bolezenski simptomi se najpogosteje pojavljajo pri odraslem prebivalstvu Slovenije in določiti njihovo prevalenco in dejavnike, ki nanjo vplivajo.Metode. Raziskava je bila presečna opazovalna in je potekala s pomočjo računalniško podprtega telefonskega anketiranja -CATI. Vključena sta bila 1002 prebivalca, stara med 15 in 90 let. Telefonski intervju je zajemal vprašanja o pojavnosti 23 bolezenskih simptomov, njihovem trajanju in o demografskih podatkih.Izsledki. Slovensko prebivalstvo ima najpogosteje težave z bolečinami v hrbtenici (409 oseb -40,8 %), bolečinami v sklepih (334 oseb -33,4 %), s prekomerno utrujenostjo (308 oseb -30,7 %), z živčnostjo (285 oseb -28,4 %), glavobolom (280 oseb -27,9 %), razdražljivostjo (261 oseb -26,1 %) in z nespečnostjo (259 oseb -25,8 %). Statistično pogosteje so se bolezenski simptomi pojavljali pri ženskah, starejših, nižje izobraženih, ljudeh z nižjim osebnim dohodkom, nezaposlenih, upokojenih in tistih z znano kronično boleznijo. Neodvisna napovedna dejavnika za prisotnost vsaj enega bolezenskega simptoma sta ženski spol in prisotnost kronične bolezni.Sklepi. Slovensko prebivalstvo je znatno obremenjeno z bolezenskimi simptomi, saj 77,3 % vprašanih bremeni vsaj en bolezenski simptom. Raziskava je odkrila skupine prebivalstva, ki so bolezenskim simptomom še posebej podvržene (ženske, starejši, kronični bolniki, ljudje z nižjim socioekonomskim statusom) in katerim bi morala biti namenjena še posebna pozornost na ravni primarnega zdravstvenega varstva in preventivne dejavnosti. ABSTRACT Key words: signs and symptoms, prevalence, crosssectional study, population surveillance Objectives. The aim of this study was to determine the most common disease symptoms in the Slovenian adult population, to determine their prevalence and to identify the demographic and other factors associated with higher prevalence of the symptoms. Methods. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted using computer assisted telephone interviewing -CATI thatcovered questions about the prevalence of 23 disease symptoms in the past month, their duration and general demographic information. The sample included 1,002 interviewees (age 15 -90). Results. The results showed that the most common symptoms among
