- AIMS: To investigate time trends in the incidence of first myocardial infarction (MI) among bus, taxi, and lorry drivers in Stockholm. METHODS: In this population based case-control study, all first events of acute MI among men aged 40-69 in Stockholm County 1977-96 were identified using registers of hospital discharges and deaths. Controls were selected randomly from the general population. National censuses were used for information on occupational titles. A total of 20,364 cases and 136,342 controls were included in the study. Among these, 1183 cases and 6072 controls had worked as drivers. RESULTS: During 1977-84 the MI incidence was higher in all three driver groups than among other manual workers. There was a decline in MI incidence among drivers as well as in the general population during the study period. The decline was greater among drivers than among other manual workers. During 1985-96 the relative risk remained increased compared to other manual workers among taxi and lorry drivers, but not among bus drivers. CONCLUSIONS: Despite a reduced MI incidence for professional drivers in recent years, preventive measures to reduce the risk of MI in these occupational groups, and in particular among taxi and lorry drivers, continue to be of importance.

- Aims: To investigate time trends in first acute myocardial infarction (MI) incidence in male and female dominated occupations in Stockholm during 1977—1996. Methods: Population-based case-control study, where all first events of acute MI among participants aged 40—69 in Stockholm 1977—1996 were identified, using registers of hospital discharges and deaths. Controls were selected randomly using national population registers. There were 16,531 male and 4382 female cases and 117,015 male and 102,083 female controls. In all, 222 female cases worked in male dominated occupations and 844 male cases worked in female dominated occupations. Results: Both women and men in male dominated occupations showed an elevated relative risk of first MI compared to other employees during the study period. Between 1985—1996, when there was a general decline in MI incidence in Sweden, women in male dominated occupations tended to show an increasing trend. Women in female dominated high and intermediate occupations had a lower relative risk of MI compared to other women in the same socioeconomic group. In male dominated and non-manual female dominated occupations a decline in the incidence of MI was seen during 1985—1996 in men but not in women. Conclusions: Work in male dominated occupations appears to be associated with an increased risk of MI in both genders. There is a need to investigate possible work related or other factors that may be driving this elevated risk.
