Abstract: In England and Wales in 1970-2 mortality from coronary heart disease was 20% higher in men and women who had been born in south Asia than in the general population....[In this one-page article the authors examine] the pattern of mortality in different ethnic groups originating from south Asia by using districts of residence to distinguish communities in which one group predominated; five London boroughs were chosen on this basis....[It is found that] mortality from coronary heart disease among Asians in England and Wales has increased by about 25% since 1970-2.
