Description
- From reviews of the first edition:
- 'For the eager student as well as for the epidemiologist just trying to keep up, this is probably the most complete and authoritative text now available.' -BMJ
- 'The great strength of this book is that it brings together and summarizes a mass of detail... will be of paricular interest to those who want to bring themselves up to date on the wide field... and, in particular, to postgraduate students in epidemiology and public health.' -New England Journal of Medicine
- 'The balance between the etiologic and public health components is a major strength of this text..the most comprehensive and readable text available in the field today.' -Australian Epidemiology Association News
- '[It] has contributions from many eminent workers who, in trawling a wealth of literature, have performed a creditable service for those who may have cause to seek guidance through the morass.' -International Journal of Epidemiology
The burden of coronary heart disease (CHD) is considerable, representing many tens of millions of deaths a year in both the developed and developing world. This new edition of a classic text reviews the well-established risk factors for CHD and looks forward to disease prevention, equipped with lessons from the past. The book covers aetiology and public health aspects health, including studies within a single population and international studies, important areas of methodological development, trials to test preventive strategies, and the application of epidemiological and other knowledge to the development of public health policy for the prevention of widespread disease. It is an all-encompassing work containing contributions from the world authorities in the field.
The book is divided into four sections. The introduction reviews advances in the understanding of, and the current status, of risk factors for CHD. Section 2 looks at recent global trends and emerging patterns of CHD morbidity and mortality in several countries, and includes chapters on work done under the auspices of WHO on the global burden of disease in relation to smoking and blood pressure. Section 3 focuses on advances in understanding the aetiology of CHD with each chapter focused on a particular risk factor. Section 4 explores measures of prevention and intervention in terms of public health policy with specific examples from around the world.
This book will be of interest to a wide and multi-disciplinary readership including those interested in an overview of research on CHD epidemiology, those actively concerned with prevention of cardiovascular disease, those looking for instructive examples of application of research to public health policy, to practitioners of epidemiology and public health, and as a reference source for medical students and postgraduate students.
