Abstract

An epidemiological study on the association between oral contraceptive (OC) use and circulatory system disease (CSD) mortality undertaken in Taiwan by proxy interview of closest family members of 306 deceased cases, 305 deceased controls, and 611 healthy neighborhood controls indicated that the relative risk between the cases and health controls was 0.98 (0.62-1.54) and that between cases and health controls was 0.82 (0.56-1.21). Use of OC by Taiwanese women has not produced any overwhelming adverse effects on CSD mortality.
