| book description |
Coronary heart disease is the major cause of death in the UK, being responsible for 31% of male deaths and for 24% of female deaths in 1987 in England and Wales. ""Preventing Coronary Heart Disease"" examines these statistics and focuses specifically on policies for its prevention by the Government, general practitioners, and concerned groups. Michael Calnan looks at the feasibility and effectiveness of these health policies and the obstacles in the way of their adoption. Drawing mainly on the discipline of politics, sociology, and epidemiology the author begins by examining the epidemiological case for prevention, and then analyzes what the UK Government is doing and can do. The Government's policy is based on the role of primary care in prevention and the author discusses how this can be taken on board by GP'S, concerned groups and the general public. Coronary heart disease is of major concern to all those working in health and related industries, as well as to individuals.
