Methods. 180 patients, 143 men and 37 women, aged 33 to 88 years (mean = 62 years) out of 350 patients who had participated in the out-patient rehabilitation program during convalescence after myocardial infarction at Trnovo Hospital of Internal Medicine in the period from 1.1.1989 to 31.12.1995 agreed to participate in the study. Eighty-eight patients continued the IIIrd phase of rehabilitation in coronary clubs (members) while 92 patients did not (nonmembers). The data were gathered by questionnaire, clinical examination and blood analyses. Results. There were significantly less smokers and more patients with protective diet and regular physical activity among the members than among the non-members, while no differences were found in other risk factors and in the preventive treatment with antithrombotic drugs and beta-blockers.
