CHANGES IN TOTAL SERUM-CHOLESTEROL AND OTHER RISK-FACTORS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR-DISEASE IN JAPAN, 1980-1989
To monitor recent changes in Japan in diet and risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), in the light of the decline on coronary heart disease, total serum cholesterol levels and other risk factors were compared between two nationwide health surveys in 1980 and 1989 conducted in the same popula...
