Abstract

The internationally used WHO-basic tabulation list of causes of diseases and death is presented in a modified version for forensic medicine. The findings of postmortems are to be indexed with this code and put into a database. We would like to suggest that as many institutes as possible use this code and collaborate to discuss further modifications.

[Lowering increased cholesterol--prolonging life?].

Epidemiologic surveys reveal a positive correlation between serum cholesterol levels and the incidence of coronary artery disease. Intervention trials demonstrated that a reduction of serum cholesterol by 1% results in a decrease of coronary non-fatal events by 2%. Fatal coronary events remain almost uninfluenced. On the other side, several intervention trials showed an excess mortality from non-cardiac causes in the therapy groups (i.e. malignant tumors, suicides, accidents). Thus, until now no prolongation of life expectancy could be verified by cholesterol lowering measures.
