Summary: Definite myocardial infarction in Auckland. G E Fraser, Aust. N.Z. J. Med., 1978, 8 , pp 479–490. 40% representative sample of definite myocardial infarctions in Auckland was studied to give incidence figures and data relating to demographic variables, personal characteristics and habits, cardiovascular history, the acute phase and events over the subsequent 28 days. The incidence results showed figures comparable with other centres in Europe and the USA, as expected from New Zealanders' high consumption of dietary saturated fats and westernized life style.
