目的：为了比较心血管疾病的危险因素，在宠物主人和non-owners.Design和患者：接受心血管疾病的危险因素进行了测量，在5741名参加者参加一个免费的，筛选诊所在贝克医学研究所在墨尔本。结果：养宠物者的收缩压和血浆甘油三酯显著低于不养宠物者（P < 0. 05），而不养宠物者的收缩压和血浆甘油三酯显著低于不养宠物者（P < 0. 05）。在男性中，养宠物者的收缩压显著低于不养宠物者，但舒张压不低于不养宠物者，血浆甘油三酯水平和血浆胆固醇水平也显著低于不养宠物者。在40岁以上的女性中，宠物主人的收缩压（而非舒张压）显著降低，血浆甘油三酯也倾向于降低。体重指数没有差异，自我报告的吸烟习惯也相似，但宠物主人报告说，他们比非主人进行了更多的运动，吃了更多的肉和“外卖”食品。宠物主人和非业主的社会经济概况出现comparable.Conclusions：宠物主人在我们的诊所人口有较低水平的接受心血管疾病的危险因素，这是不能解释的基础上吸烟，饮食，体重指数或社会经济概况。因此，养宠物减少心血管危险因素的可能性应该被调查。
Objective: To compare risk factors for cardiovascular disease in pet owners and non-owners.Design and patients: Accepted risk factors for cardiovascular disease were measured in 5741 participants attending a free, screening clinic at the Baker Medical Research institute in Melbourne. Blood pressure, plasma cholesterol and triglyceride values were compared in pet owners (n = 784) and non-owners (n = 4957).Results: Pet owners had significantly lower systolic blood pressure and plasma triglycerides than non-owners. In men, pet owners had significantly lower systolic but not diastolic blood pressure than non-owners, and significantly lower plasma triglyceride levels, and plasma cholesterol levels. In women over 40 years old, systolic but not diastolic pressure was significantly lower in pet owners and plasma triglycerides also tended to be lower. There were no differences in body mass index and self-reported smoking habits were similar, but pet owners reported that they took significantly more exercise than non-owners, and ate more meat and "take-away" foods. The socioeconomic profile of the pet owners and non-owners appeared to be comparable.Conclusions: Pet owners in our clinic population had lower levels of accepted risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and this was not explicable on the basis of cigarette smoking, diet, body mass index or socioeconomic profile. The possibility that pet ownership reduces cardiovascular risk factors should therefore be investigated.
