The gap between food-based dietary guidelines and usual food consumption in Belgium, 2004
Objective To evaluate the gap between food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG) and the usual food consumption in Belgium. Design and setting Information on food intake was collected with two non-consecutive 24 h recalls, using the validated software package EPIC-SOFT in combination with a self-administered FFQ. Habitual food intake was estimated by the Nusser method. Physical activity was evaluated according to the International Physical Activity Que…
Working conditions predict incidence of long-term spells of sick leave due to depression: Results from the Belstress I prospective study
BACKGROUND: During the last few years, a high incidence of sick leave due to depression has been reported, resulting in important economic and social impacts. Only a limited number of studies investigating the influence of psychosocial working conditions on sick leave have been prospective and have utilised a valid methodology, while none have studied sick leave due to depression. In this study, the impact of adverse psychosocial working conditio…
Predictors of misreporting in an elderly population: The ‘Quality of life after 65’ study
Objectives To evaluate the prevalence and identify some predictors of misreporting in an elderly Belgian population and to assess the effect of underreporting on estimated intakes of macronutrients and foods. Design A 1-day food record was completed by 2083 adult men and women aged 65 years or more. Individuals whose energy intake was lower than 0.90 × BMR (basal metabolic rate) were defined as underreporters. Overreporting was defined as energy …
Use of benzodiazepine drugs and perceived job stress in a cohort of working men and women in Belgium. Results from the BELSTRESS-study
Trends in coronary heart disease in two Belgian areas: Results from the Monica Ghent-Charleroi Study
SETTING: As part of the WHO-MONICA study, acute coronary events have been registered from 1983 until 1992 in the general population aged 25-69 years in two Belgian cities--Ghent in the northern Dutch speaking part of Belgium and Charleroi in the southern French speaking part. Registration of events was done according to an international standard protocol. OBJECTIVE: To study trends in total, fatal and non-fatal event rates and trends in case fata…
Misclassification of coronary heart disease in mortality statistics. Evidence from the WHO-Monica Ghent-Charleroi Study in Belgium
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To validate the Belgian vital statistics for coronary heart disease (CHD) on the basis of an independent acute myocardial infarction (AMI) register, carried out as part of the WHO-MONICA project. DESIGN: Records of fatal cases of AMI in the WHO-MONICA register were individually linked to the corresponding death certificates. SETTING: Since 1983, the WHO-MONICA Collaborating Centre Ghent/Charleroi registers all fatal and non-fatal…
Ischemic heart disease and regional variations of socio-cultural characteristics in Belgium
Belgian heart disease prevention project: Comparison of self-reported smoking behaviour with serum thiocyanate concentrations
At the end of a multifactorial cardiovascular preventive trial serum thiocyanate was measured in random samples of 1035 cases and 1087 controls. A cut-off point 0.45 mg/dl (77.6/mumol/l) gave a sensitivity of 82.1% among the cigarette smokers in the control group and a specificity of 91.0% among the non-smokers. When the intervention and control groups are compared in terms of self-reported smoking behaviour non-significant differences in mean th…
The Belgian Heart Disease Prevention Project: Type “A” Behavior Pattern and the Prevalence of Coronary Heart Disease
A relation between the Type A behavior pattern and the prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD), independent of other coronary risk factors, was demonstrated in the Belgian Heart Disease Prevention Project. The association was strongest with angina pectoris or with electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities in subjects with known CHD; however, particular aspects of the Type A behavior pattern dealing with time urgency were also related to ECG abnorm…
Incidence of ischaemic heart disease in two cohorts of Belgian clerks
A study during a five-year period has been conducted on the incidence of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) among two cohorts of Belgian employees who were free of IHD at entry. As regards the final outcome these incidences differ significantly. The chief difference between the two cohorts is their systolic blood pressure. These pressure differences may be attributed to differences in the level of work pressure. The increased work pressure in Cohort I…
