A community study of coronary heart disease was carried out in Bangor, Pa., and the death rate from myocardial infarction found to be higher than in an ethnically different neighboring community. When group comparisons were made on patients and questionables in the two communities, no significant variables emerged. Stability of community was found related to a lower incidence of death from myocardial infarction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
