To show that alcohol intoxication may be underdiagnosed in childhood, we describe four patients in whom it was not suspected until blood alcohol concentrations were measured as part of a toxicology screen.
A survey if 298 adolescents was carried out by questionnaire, medical examination, anthropometric and biochemical methods, to determine the prevalence of risk factors for coronary heart disease particularly those that might explain the known difference in atherosclerotic mortality between European and Maori women. Data on blood pressure, obesity and serum lipids are presented here, and are discussed together with smoking and serum uric acid. Obesity, hypertriglyceridaemia, smoking and hyperuricaemia all contributed to a higher coronary risk status for Maori subjects.
