A 25-year follow-up survey of the Finnish men examined in the Seven Countries Study and now 65-84 years old was carried out in the East and the South-West of Finland in 1984. The follow-up examinations were carried out as in the previous surveys. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were now significantly lower in the East than in the South-West of Finland. Serum total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol were on the same level in both areas. The East/South-West difference in serum cholesterol, observed in previous studies, had levelled off and that in the blood pressure level had even reversed among the study cohorts. The mean fasting serum glucose was higher in the East than in the South-West of Finland. The mean serum calcium level was the same in both areas.
1984年，对参与七国研究且如今年龄在65至84岁的芬兰男性进行了一项为期25年的随访调查，该调查在芬兰东部和西南部开展。随访检查按照此前调查的方式进行。如今，芬兰东部的收缩压和舒张压显著低于西南部。两个地区的血清总胆固醇和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平相当。此前研究中观察到的东部/西南部血清胆固醇差异已趋于平稳，而研究队列中血压水平的差异甚至出现了逆转。芬兰东部的空腹血清葡萄糖均值高于西南部。两个地区的血清钙平均水平相同。
