The associations of ventricular premature beats detected on a one-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram with demographic, behavioral, physiologic, and anthropometric variables were examined in 2,331 factory workers aged 20-69 years. Ventricular premature beats were more prevalent with increasing age and with abnormal resting electrocardiograms. From the age of 40, they were more common among males than among females. An association with ethnicity was observed, ventricular premature beats being most common among Israelis of European origin. In univariate analysis, resting heart rate was inversely associated with the presence of ventricular premature beats for females only. Ambulatory heart rate was positively associated with ventricular premature beats only among males. No associations with smoking habits or relative weight were found. Among males and females with normal electrocardiograms, systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significant correlates of ventricular premature beats in univariate analysis and after controlling for age, resting and ambulatory heart rates, and ethnic origin.
在2331名年龄在20至69岁的工厂工人中，研究了通过一小时动态心电图检测到的室性早搏与人口统计学、行为、生理和人体测量学变量之间的关联。室性早搏的发生率随着年龄增长和静息心电图异常而增加。从40岁起，男性比女性更常见。观察到与种族有关联，室性早搏在欧洲裔以色列人中最为常见。在单变量分析中，仅女性的静息心率与室性早搏的存在呈负相关。动态心率仅在男性中与室性早搏呈正相关。未发现与吸烟习惯或相对体重有关联。在心电图正常的男性和女性中，在单变量分析以及在控制年龄、静息和动态心率以及种族起源后，收缩压和舒张压是室性早搏的显著相关因素。
