Résumé

The aim of this study was to examine prevalence and associations for use of CAM among People diagnosed with, or with a family risk for CHD in the 6th Troms Study. Methods A total of 12982 men and women (response rate 65.7%) filled in a selfadministrated questionnaire with questions about life style and health issues. Eight hundred and thirty of those had been diagnosed with either heart attack and/or angina pectoris while 4830 had a family risk for such disease due to close family members diagnosed with such disease. Results CAM use (CAM provider, OTC CAM products and/or CAM techniques) was found in 30.2% of the participants diagnosed with CHD and 35.8% of the participants with family risk of CHD (p < 0.001). Selfrated health, expectations for future health, preventive health beliefs and health behaviour were significant predictors of CAM use for those at risk of CHD. In the CHD patient group only health behaviour and self-rated health were significantly associated with CAM use.
