Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 6UresR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Serum cholesterol concentrations and blood pressure were measured during 1958-64 among men aged 40-59 who took part in the Seven Countries Study. In the present study these measurements were related to the national mortality from coronary heart disease in the periods 1959-61,1964-6,1969-71, and 1974-6. The correlations increased with time (r=0.86,0.90,0.93, and 0.96 respectively for serum cholesterol concentration and r=0.48,0.56,0.57, and 0.64 for systolic blood pressure), suggesting that the'incubation period'between exposure to major coronary risk factors and the maximum effects on mortality may be 10 years or more.
