Some Italian data on frequencies of cardiovascular diseases in women are reported. Recent data, published by ISTAT (1987), record that diseases of the circulatory system represent 50% of all deaths and cardiovascular events happen over 75. Mortality rates for cardiovascular diseases, aged 0-74, are lower than in men of the same age group. Coronary and cerebrovascular events recorded by the MONICA register in the Area Latina are lower in women than in men with a ratio of 3:1 and 3:2 respectively. Fatality rate is higher in women than in men. Incidence rate of definite coronary events assessed by population samples is 2.2 per 1000 per year in women aged 40-69. On cardiovascular risk factors few Italian data are published. Some data from American studies reported for women the prediction of risk factors, such as serum cholesterol, blood pressure, and smoking habit; an independent role is played by diabetes and obesity.
报告了一些关于意大利女性心血管疾病发病率的数据。意大利国家统计局（ISTAT，1987年）公布的最新数据显示，循环系统疾病占所有死亡人数的50%，心血管事件发生在75岁以上人群中。0至74岁人群中心血管疾病的死亡率低于同年龄组男性。拉丁地区MONICA登记处记录的女性冠状动脉和脑血管事件低于男性，比例分别为3:1和3:2。女性的病死率高于男性。通过人群样本评估，40至69岁女性中明确冠状动脉事件的发病率为每年每1000人中有2.2例。关于心血管危险因素，意大利公布的数据很少。一些美国研究的数据报告了女性心血管危险因素的预测情况，如血清胆固醇、血压和吸烟习惯；糖尿病和肥胖起着独立作用。
