ANGINA
(Coronary Disease)
This cause of death is next in alphabetical order and is also the next most important
cause of premature death in males After Cancer it is responsible for more deaths per year than
any other disease group. Table IV shows the considerable impact of Coronary disease in Edmonton.
Disease of the Coronary arteries or Angina carried off 60 people before they reached the age
of 65. Four of the men died before the age of 45 and 14 more before the age of 55. Not many
women died so early; only two died before the age of 55 and nine more before the age of 65.
This group of diseases has been investigated by many people and various suggestions have been
put forward. One is that the disease is more common in the "chairborne" than in the active.
