Norwegian counties show considerable variations in their rates of mortality from arteriosclerotic heart disease. These variations cannot be explained by present-day differences in standard of living. Such differences did exist in the past as was shown by large variations in infant mortality. A significant positive correlation has been found between the county age-adjusted mortality from arteriosclerotic heart disease in people aged between 40 and 69 years and county infant mortality relating to the early years in the same cohorts. The findings suggest that great poverty in childhood and adolescence followed by prosperity, is a risk factor for arteriosclerotic heart disease.
挪威各县在动脉硬化性心脏病死亡率方面存在显著差异。这些差异无法用当今生活水平的差异来解释。过去确实存在这样的差异,婴儿死亡率的大幅变化就表明了这一点。在40至69岁人群中,经年龄调整的各县动脉硬化性心脏病死亡率与同一队列早年的各县婴儿死亡率之间发现了显著的正相关。研究结果表明,童年和青少年时期极度贫困随后生活富足,是动脉硬化性心脏病的一个风险因素。
