    Notes: Abstract Data on variation in eight polymorphic marker systems and some psychometric traits collected for other purposes in a group of Oxfordshire villages were examined for possible associations. Of a number that appeared statistically significant, one between haptoglobin and aspects of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) IQ seemed particularly interesting, since the haptoglobin variation is also associated with “within-family” social mobility. After using a multiple regression approach to allow for the possible effects on IQ of sex, geographical location, social class, and family structure, the association between haptoglobin and performance IQ became even stronger. This procedure removed the evidence for all the other associations except for one between Kell blood group and IQ. When the haptoglobin variation was examined in relation to the component subtests of the WAIS, the association turned out to arise entirely from the block design element.

    Notes: Abstract This paper examines the distribution and prevalence of risk factors for coronary heart disease in a sample of 165 men and 202 women over 40 years of age who had earlier participated in a coronary prevention trial from a general practice in Cambridge, UK. No significant differences were observed in total cholesterol levels between men and women, and a quarter of the sample had concentrations above 6.5 mmol/l which is 250 mg/dl. There were significant sex differences in a number of risk factors with males having significantly higher prevalence of low high density lipoprotein, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, obesity, and smoking than women. About 8% of men and women were obese (as defined by a body mass index 〉 30), while 47% of men and 35% of women were mildly overweight (body mass index 〉 25). Two or more risk factors for coronary heart disease (high total cholesterol and/or hypertension and/or obesity) were present in 4% and 9% of older men and women respectively. Furthermore, about half the subjects had more than one risk factor for coronary heart disease.
