Abstract：
:Aortic and coronary atherosclerosis were studied in two groups, the "high atherosclerosis group" and the "low atherosclerosis group". The latter may be considered as showing basic levels of atherosclerosis in the different communities. The development of lesions in the two groups occurred in parallel, but earlier in the high group. Sex differences in the two groups were similar to those in the whole material. Generally speaking, inter-town comparisons were similar in each group and similar to those for deaths from all causes, a notable exception being the prevalence of coronary stenosis. The findings indicate that the groups can be used as reference groups, but only for material drawn from the same source.
