| Summary: | Aim. To study the association between cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality levels in men and day of the week, season of the year, and change to daylight saving time.Material and methods. This prospective study included the 13-year follow-up data for 2390 men aged 15 years and older.Results. The overall level of CVD mortality in men was 407,1 per 1000, with no associations with day of the week, season of the year, or change to daylight saving time. However, in the spring, the highest and lowest levels of CVD mortality were observed, respectively, on Thursday (21,2 per 1000) and Sunday (10,6 per 1000). In the autumn, the highest and lowest levels of CVD mortality were observed on Sunday (21,1 per 1000) and Monday (7,9 per 1000), respectively. The proportion of men dying from CVD on Monday was twice as high in the winter (33,3%, or 17,8 per 1000) than in the autumn (14,8%, or 7,9 per 1000). The proportion of men dying from CVD on Sunday was twice as high in the autumn than in the spring (38,1%, or 21,2% per 1000 vs. 19,0%, or 10,6 per 1000, respectively).Conclusion. The observed dynamics of CVD mortality during the week and across the seasons should be taken into account by the CVD prevention programmes. |
