“…Haidinger et al [26] showed that in Austria smoking prevalence among females increased by 34% between 1986 and 1995 and by 10% among males, and that the patterns of smoking among females approached that of males. A questionnaire among the Austrian population on attitudes to and knowledge about hypertension [27] found a decrease of awareness between 1984 and 1993.…”

Comparative international studies regularly find an increase in mortality differentials by education and socioeconomic group. We are interested in whether the same is true for Austria, a country for which no previous comparable study exists. On the basis of linked death and census records for the Austrian population in the years 1981/82 and 1991/92, we observed a widening gap in educational and occupational differentials of Austrian men in relative and absolute mortality from all causes. The increase was restricted to ages 50 to 74, whereas mortality differentials at younger and older ages were unchanged or slightly lower. The growing gap resulted from increasing mortality advantages for men with tertiary education, the highest educational group. Their absolute mortality and relative mortality risks decreased faster than those of all other educational groups. Educational differentials among women remained unchanged.

“…Smoking is another major risk factor and a reduction in smoking rates has been shown to contribute to a decrease in stroke incidence [24]. However, during 1986-1995 smoking prevalence increased in Austria among both males (9.6%) and females (33.7%) [25]. Increases in smoking and other risk factors for stroke, such as atrial fi brillation, diabetes, and obesity [23], may explain why the rate of decline in stroke mortality has slowed in the past decade.…”

“…Current smokers were defined as those: (i) "smoking at least one cigarette each day" 19,35 ; (ii) "smoking one or more cigarettes daily for 6 months or more before the survey" 36,37 ; (iii) "smoking tobacco products at the time of the survey" 15,38,39,40,41,42 ; (iv) "having smoked at least 100 cigarettes in one's lifetime and currently smoke every day or some days or continue to smoke regularly or were still smoking daily at the time of the interview" 10,11,12,14,17,26,43,44,45,46,47 49,50 ; (iii) ever smokers -"more than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime" 51 .…”
