heal.abstract	A case-control study of coronary heart disease (CHD) was conducted in Athens, Greece. The case series consisted of 329 patients with electrocardiographically confirmed coronary infarct or a diagnostic coronary artenogram, or both, who were admitted during a 16-month period to a major teaching hospital. Controls ware 570 patients admitted to the same hospital just before or after the CHD cases for minor surgery; eye, ear, nose or minor urological problems; or chest problems definitely shown to be unrelated to CHD. All cases and controls were interviewed in the hospital wards and selected laboratory data were abstracted. The main analysis was done by modelling through multiple logistic regression, controlling for demographic variables as well as for the mutual confounding effects of the investigated risk factors. Obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, elevated blood cholesterol and excessive coffee intake were signffi cant (P < 0.02) independent risk factors with relative risk estimates in the 2- to 3-fold range. Non-positive associations were found with respect to tobacco smoking and modest coffee consumption, whereas non-significant negative associations were noted with respect to alcohol intake and regular exercise. A negative association with dura tion of afternoon siesta was of borderline statistical significance.	en
