Drugs, Lipid Metabolism, and Atherosclerosis

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 109))

Abstract

The mortality from coronary heart disease (CHD) (ICD 410) in men aged 40 years is 3 times higher in Edinburgh than in Stockholm. This assessment is based on two community surveys of CHD incidence (1,2) and WHO mortality data (3). A pilot survey of CHD risk factors (4) suggested that there are significantly higher serum triglycerides, blood pressure, insulin production and cigarette smoking in Edinburgh compared with Stockholm but that serum cholesterol and weight are similar.
