Nutrition and Coronary Heart Disease

In this paper the question being asked is “ if more resources were available for the
prevention of CHD via nutritional means, which way of using them would achieve the
maximum reduction in mortality?” Clearly, the answer to this question will not provide
any clues as to where these resources should go.

However, the method used in this study provides some information about the impact of
interventions on different groups in society. This paper has made an attempt to consider
equity issues through the examination of the impact of interventions on different
population groups. The empirical evidence in this area is not strong and there is a need
for further research. Such research would be justified by the strong evidence suggesting
that socio-economic status is a significant risk-factor for CHD.

The interpretation of the results is left to the reader of the analysis.
