犹他州的心血管死亡率是美国最低的之一。72%的州居民(摩门教)的宗教禁止吸烟和饮酒；大量摩门教徒遵守这一禁令。这项研究分析了1969年至1971年间犹他州摩门教会成员中6108人死于心血管疾病。对于男女来说，摩门教徒的缺血性心脏病死亡率比美国人预期的低35%，而非摩门教徒与美国白人没有显著差异。这些结果支持了吸烟与心血管疾病死亡率之间的关系。在犹他州，摩门教男性因高血压心脏病和摩门女性风湿性心脏病的死亡率也低于非摩门教男性。
Cardiovascular mortality in Utah is among the lowest in the USA. The religion of 72% of the state residents (Mormon) proscribes the use of tobacco and alcohol; a large number of Mormons adhere to this proscription. This study analyzed the 6108 cardiovascular disease deaths between 1969-1971 in Utah of members in the Mormon Church. For both sexes, Mormons had 35% less mortality than expected from USA rates for ischemic heart disease, while non-Mormons were not significantly different from USA whites. These results support the relationship between cigarrette smoking and mortality from cardiovascular disease. Mormon men also had lower mortality from hypertensive heart disease and Mormon women from rheumatic heart disease than non-Mormons in Utah.
