Abstract

The rate of hospitalization for myocardial infarction was examined in the Corpus Christi Heart Project (CCHP), a prospective population-based surveillance program in a biethnic community of Mexican-Americans and non-Hispanic whites. During 12 months of ascertainment, a total of 740 patients hospitalized with definite (217) or possible (523) myocardial infarction were identified. Of the 740 subjects, 334 were Mexican-Americans (150 females and 184 males), 348 were non-Hispanic whites (138 females and 210 males), and 58 were of other ethnic backgrounds. The 1-year age-adjusted rates of hospitalization per 100,000 population were 427.4 and 276.9 among Mexican-American and non-Hispanic white females, respectively, and 721.4 and 502.6 among Mexican-American and non-Hispanic white males, respectively. The age-adjusted hospitalization rate ratios for Mexican-Americans in relation to non-Hispanic whites were 1.55 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.23 to 1.95) and 1.40 (95% CI: 1.15 to 1.70) for females and males, respectively. These results suggest that Mexican-Americans may have a greater burden of coronary disease than non-Hispanic whites.

摘要

在科珀斯克里斯蒂心脏项目（CCHP）中，对心肌梗死的住院率进行了研究。该项目是一个基于人群的前瞻性监测项目，研究对象为墨西哥裔美国人与非西班牙裔白人组成的双种族社区。在为期12个月的确诊期间，共确定了740例因确诊（217例）或可能（523例）心肌梗死而住院的患者。在这740名受试者中，334名是墨西哥裔美国人（150名女性和184名男性），348名是非西班牙裔白人（138名女性和210名男性），58名属于其他种族背景。每10万人口中，墨西哥裔美国女性和非西班牙裔白人女性的1年年龄调整住院率分别为427.4和276.9，墨西哥裔美国男性和非西班牙裔白人男性的相应比率分别为721.4和502.6。墨西哥裔美国人相对于非西班牙裔白人的年龄调整住院率比值，女性为1.55（95%置信区间[CI]：1.23至1.95），男性为1.40（95%CI：1.15至1.70）。这些结果表明，墨西哥裔美国人可能比非西班牙裔白人承担着更重的冠心病负担。
