Could antioxidants play a role in high rates of coronary heart disease in the Czech Republic?

Article Abstract:

The role of antioxidants in the prevalence of coronary heart disease was investigated. Plasma concentrations of antioxidant vitamins in a random sample of Czech men and women were calculated and compared with those of another sample based in London, England. Results showed that plasma levels of antioxidants in the Czech population were found to be very low even as men with low levels of antioxidant vitamins appear to be more predisposed to myocardial infarction. These findings indicate that intake of antioxidants or related dietary factors may be a risk of coronary heart disease.

Geographical differences in CHD mortality in England: implications for local health planning

Article Abstract:

The regional differences in death from coronary heart disease (CHD) in England, UK, are described. These results of a survey by the Health Mapping Project, commissioned by the Health Education Authority (HEA), are also used to suggest ways for setting CHD reduction targets and for local health planning. The rate of death from CHD is falling in the UK, but this rate is still high compared to other European countries. The highest rates are in the North and West of England, with variations also existing within regions.

Who complied with COMA 1984 dietary fat recommendations among a nationally representative sample of British adults in 1986-7 and what did they eat?

Article Abstract:

A study conducted on the number of people of the British adult population that followed the recommendations of the Committee on Medical Aspects of Food Policy (COMA) indicates that only a small percentage of people reach the levels laid down by COMA. The governments of many countries changed their dietary recommendations when the relationship of fat to cardiovascular diseases was discovered.
