Abstract
A population based survey was carried out in Wandsworth, south London, where roughly 12% of residents are from the Caribbean or west Africa (that is, of African descent) and 6% are of Indian, Pakistani, or Bangladeshi origin (that is, south Asian). Women aged 40-59 were invited from nine general practices as part of a cardiovascular screening study.4 The response rate was 66% (941/1429). Of the 941 women screened, 882 were from one of the ethnic groups being studied.Keywords
