Atherosclerotic changes in the aorta and coronary arteries (stained with Sudan IV) were appraised by a visual planimetric method. The material had been obtained in a WHO-sponsored epidemiological study of atherosclerosis, carried out in Tallin, Riga, Kharkov, Ryazan, and Yalta. The authors examined vessels obtained from 430 practically healthy men of various nutritional status, deceased when aged 40-69 years. The influence of tobacco smoking was investigated by analyses of vessels obtained from 313 men -- heavy smokers, and 82 non-smokers, deceased when aged 30--69 years. The results obtained justify the conclusion that the accelerating effects of over-nourishment and tobacco smoking on the development of coronary vascular atherosclerosis were much more pronounced in male brain-workers than in male manual workers.
通过视觉平面测量法评估主动脉和冠状动脉的动脉粥样硬化变化（用苏丹IV染色）。这些材料取自世界卫生组织赞助的一项动脉粥样硬化流行病学研究，该研究在塔林、里加、哈尔科夫、梁赞和雅尔塔进行。作者检查了430名营养状况各异的实际健康男性的血管，这些男性在40 - 69岁时死亡。通过分析313名重度吸烟者和82名不吸烟者的血管来研究吸烟的影响，这些人在30 - 69岁时死亡。所得结果证明了这样的结论：在男性脑力劳动者中，营养过剩和吸烟对冠状动脉粥样硬化发展的加速作用比男性体力劳动者更为明显。
