Comparison of the attack rates for acute myocardial infarction in two Belgian towns AMI attack rates in two Belgian towns. Belgium is divided in two main regions: Flanders in the North with a Dutch-speaking population, and Wallonia in the South with a French-speaking community. From 1982 onwards, a register of acute myocardial infarction has been in operation in Ghent, a Flemish town, and in Charleroi in Wallonia, following the procedures of the MONICA (Multinational Monitoring of Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular Diseases) study. Annual attack rates of myocardial infarction are presented for a 5-year period. During this period, the annual attack rates for men are 10-20% higher in Charleroi than Ghent. In women, the ratio between the two cities is less clear. The results of this community registers confirms the regional differences observed previously in Belgium using other epidemiological techniques.
比利时两个城镇急性心肌梗死发病率的比较 比利时两个城镇的急性心肌梗死发病率。比利时主要分为两个地区：北部讲荷兰语的弗拉芒大区，以及南部讲法语的瓦隆大区。自1982年起，按照心血管疾病多国趋势和决定因素监测（MONICA）研究的程序，在弗拉芒城镇根特和瓦隆大区的沙勒罗瓦开展了急性心肌梗死登记工作。给出了5年期间心肌梗死的年发病率。在此期间，沙勒罗瓦男性的年发病率比根特高10%-20%。在女性中，两个城市之间的比例关系不太明确。该社区登记的结果证实了此前在比利时使用其他流行病学技术所观察到的地区差异。
