need to be qualified strongly by recognising that our cross sectional data preclude any analysis of changes in risk factors.Our conclusions are suggestive and need to be tested with longitudinal data; however, we are not aware of any longitudinal data sets that contain measures of the relevant risk factors at different stages of life, including childhood.The data of the west of Scotland collaborative study were collected in the early 1970s.It would be useful to establish whether risk factors for cardiovascular disease are still related in the same way to father's and own social class.Although coronary heart disease is less prevalent in women than in men, any study of the current situation should include women.
