Abstract
Death rates from ischemic heart disease (IHD) in English and Welsh counties [UK] are correlated, in both men and women, with the infant mortality rates of those counties when the individuals whose deaths are considered are young, thus confirming previous findings in Norway. In England and Wales, there is an equally good correlation between deaths from IHD and infant mortality patterns up to and including that for the same period as the IHD deaths. The British data provide no grounds for concluding from these relationships that living conditions during early life per se bear a causal relationship to deaths from IHD.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
