The autopsies of 764 pilots involved in fatal general aviation accidents during the years 1975-77 were reviewed to appraise the age specific prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis among the autopsied group. Of the pilots killed in aircraft accidents and autopsied during 1975-77, 51% were found to have some degree of coronary atherosclerosis ranging from minimal to severe. However, only about 5% of the autopsied group were categorized as having severe coronary atherosclerosis. The rate per 1,000 of severe coronary atherosclerosis increased with age from 14.5 for ages less than 30, to 89.9 for ages 50 years and above; the rate nearly tripled from ages 30-39 to 40-49 (22.1 to 63.6). The prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis among this group of autopsied airmen is less than would have been expected based on the results of other recent studies.
对1975年至1977年期间参与致命通用航空事故的764名飞行员的尸检进行了回顾，以评估尸检组中特定年龄的冠状动脉粥样硬化患病率。在1975年至1977年期间死于飞机事故并接受尸检的飞行员中，51%被发现有某种程度的冠状动脉粥样硬化，从轻度到重度不等。然而，尸检组中只有约5%被归类为患有严重冠状动脉粥样硬化。每1000人中严重冠状动脉粥样硬化的发生率随年龄增长而增加，从30岁以下的14.5增加到50岁及以上的89.9；从30-39岁到40-49岁，该发生率几乎增加了两倍（从22.1增加到63.6）。根据最近其他研究的结果，这组接受尸检的飞行员中冠状动脉粥样硬化的患病率低于预期。
