Abstract
The social infrastructure was investigated in 379 patients with urinary stones. The rates of 50% for employees and 32% for old-age pensioners were high. Of the patients, 16% were employed in jobs consisting of hard manual labor, and 9% included regular physical activity in their leisure time. A significant increase in urinary excretion of Ca and uric acid (P = 0.01) and PI (P = < 0.001) was seen in connection with increase in net income. Urinary pH was lowest in the highest income group (P = 0.01).
