Abstract

A 25-year follow-up survey of the Finnish men examined in the Seven Countries Study and now 65–84 years old was carried out in the East and the South-West of Finland in 1984. The follow-up examinations were carried out as in the previous surveys. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were now significantly lower in the East than in the South-West of Finland. Serum total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol were on the same level in both areas. The East/South-West difference in serum cholesterol, observed in previous studies, had levelled off and that in the blood pressure level had even reversed among the study cohorts. The mean fasting serum glucose was higher in the East than in the South-West of Finland. The mean serum calcium level was the same in both areas. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Abstract

The article reports that neutralizing Coxsackie antibodies arising from natural infections with Coxsackie virus type B3 or B5 were studied in adults and newborn babies. The question whether in man the immune response of newborn babies to new antigenic stimuli is essentially different from that of adults has been approached by immunization with various antigens. The results are contradictory. There are two difficulties inherent in these studies, passively transferred maternal antibody, if present, weakens the response of newborn babies, and while a true primary response is likely in newborn babies, adults may have been in contact with the test antigen earlier, unknown to the experimenter, and give a secondary response.
