Mortality from Ischaemic Heart Disease and Cerebrovascular Disease in Greenland

Mortality 1968–83 from Ischaemic Heart Disease (IHD) and Cerebrovascular Disease (CD) was studied in native Greenlanders. Mortality from IHD was lower in Greenland than in Denmark for both rrtales and females and especially low in Greenlandic settlements. IHD mortality decreased during the period. M...
