Fibrinogen, homocyst(e)ine, and C-reactive protein concentrations relative to sex and socio-economic status in British young people

Abstract

This cross-sectional investigation addressed, for the first time, novel and traditional coronary heart disease in a cohort of Welsh 12-13 year olds. No previous studies have provided such comprehensive information on a cohort of apparently healthy Welsh schoolchildren. The findings also presented valuable information on the health status of young people according to social classification. Thomas contributed to the conception and design of the study, carried out the studies, analysed the data, and drafted the manuscript.
