Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: People living in eastern Finland have approximately 40% higher coronary heart disease mortality rates than western Finns. Whether this is because of genetic or environmental factors is unknown. We examined the effect of geographic family origin on subclinical atherosclerosis among youn...
