Abstract

This research estimates the relationship between major cardiovascular disease and certain economic variables, 1948-82. The results indicate that business cycle variables provide little explanatory power. Instead, consumption variables related to rational, economic choices by individuals provide much richer and empirically stable results. The empirical results are tested for reverse causation and, with the exception of beer consumption, indicate a lack of reverse causation. Copyright 1990 by WWZ and Helbing & Lichtenhahn Verlag AG
