Several studies in Norway show large differences in risk factors for arteriosclerotic heart disease among municipalities. It is presently difficult to show specific differences in the standard of living between the various municipalities to explain these findings. Such differences previously existed and were expressed by the variations in infant mortality from 1 municipality to another. A significant positive correlation is shown between the cholesterol values among men and women aged 35-49 yr and the infant mortality rate previously present in the municipalities for the same cohort. Poverty in childhood and adolescence followed by later prosperity results in high cholesterol values. The findings are related to previous work where a significant positive correlation was shown between infant mortality rates and later mortality rates from arteriosclerotic heart disease.
