| Popis: | Background. Few studies have focused on sudden death among apparently healthy workers, and the risk factors have not been fully discussed. Methods. A nested case-control study was conducted among 164,017 male employees receiving annual medical checkups in Japan. Most recent medical checkup data of 242 sudden death victims (mean age, 48.0 years) were compared with corresponding data of 505 age-, workplace-, and job-type-matched male controls. Odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for each variable were calculated by logistic regression. Results. OR (95% CI) significantly increased with advancing blood pressure, reaching 6.6 (3.4–13.1) for systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mm Hg relative to that |
