To determine how a group of 29 male military patients with coronary artery disease (CAD-MIL group) have adapted physically and psychosocially, we compared results from standard questionnaires with those from 39 healthy military men (WELL-MIL group) and 27 male civilian patients with coronary artery disease (CAD-CIV group). There was no difference in the degree of severity of coronary artery disease between the two groups with the disease. The WELL-MIL group reported a higher activity level than the CAD-MIL group, which reported a higher activity level than the CAD-CIV group. Both the CAD-MIL group and WELL-MIL groups had lower levels of state anxiety compared with the CAD-CIV group, and the CAD-MIL group had a better overall psychosocial adjustment score compared with that of the CAD-CIV group. Thus, male military patients with coronary artery disease reported better physical and psychosocial adjustment to their illness than a group of male civilian patients with a similar degree of disease severity. but they were less physically active than healthy military men.
