ABSTRACT
Preliminary studies in Jamaica indicated that the incidence of athero-sclerosis of the aorta showed a similar pattern to that in the United States although the incidence of myocardial infarction, a presumed complication of atherosclerosis, is far lower in Jamaica than in the U.S.A. The study has been extended to include a comparative assay of the coronary arteries and it has been found that the degree of coronary atherosclerosis is significantly greater in comparable age groups in the United States of America than in Jamaica. The implications of this dissociation are discussed. The Jamaican results have been analysed to determine the influence of age, sex, hypertension and diabetes on the disease process (AU)
