Scotland has very high mortality rates for coronary heart disease in both men and women. The Ayrshire and Arran health Board Area is co-terminus with four local government districts which all have male coronary mortality rates above the Scottish average. A survey of lifestyle and coronary risk factors was conducted in these four districts in preparation for the launch of a Prevention Programme's 'Healthy Heart Campaign'. This survey will be used as a baseline for evaluation of lifestyle modification and risk factor change over the next 5-10 years. The information provided by the survey is valuable to the direction and targeting of the Prevention Programme. The methods developed in this survey could be used for evaluation of other coronary prevention programmes. Similar data has been collected from another 20 districts as part of the Scottish Heart Health Study and has been distributed to all the Scottish mainland health boards.
苏格兰男性和女性的冠心病死亡率都非常高。艾尔郡和阿伦健康委员会辖区与四个地方政府区范围相同，这四个区的男性冠心病死亡率均高于苏格兰平均水平。为筹备预防计划的“健康心脏运动”，在这四个区开展了一项生活方式和冠心病风险因素调查。该调查将作为未来5至10年评估生活方式改变和风险因素变化的基线。调查提供的信息对预防计划的方向和目标设定很有价值。本次调查所采用的方法可用于评估其他冠心病预防计划。作为苏格兰心脏健康研究的一部分，已从另外20个区收集了类似数据，并已分发给所有苏格兰大陆的健康委员会。
