BRHS

British Regional Heart Study. A prospective study of middle-aged men from general practices in 24 British towns, who were recruited in 1978–1980 to identify the factors responsible for the considerable variation in coronary heart disease, hypertension and stroke seen in the UK, determine their causes, and provide a rational basis for recommendations towards prevention.
