Sammanfattning
Statistics on the community level have revealed an increased mortality from cardiovascular diseases, especially stroke, among women in the community of Strömstad. Traditionally accepted risk factors could not explain an increased mortality from these diseases. It seems reasonable also to take other factors into consideration e.g. socio-economic factors and softness of the drinking water.
