Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / December 2004trend in rates of heart desease
According to Dr James Le Fanu book "Eat Your Heart Out" 1988, The rates of heart desease peaked around 1968 and since is on a rapid decrease. The records in his book only go to 1980 where it is below 1950 levels. According to general information I got from the internet, heart desease is increasing very rapidly. Using Googles, I could not find any rates of heart desease data. Can anyone lead me to data showing rates of heart desease over the years 1980-the present? regards andrew vecsey > According to Dr James Le Fanu book "Eat Your Heart Out" 1988, The rates > of heart desease peaked around 1968 and since is on a rapid decrease.
