Whickham

Data on age, smoking, and mortality
from a one-in-six survey of the electoral roll
in Whickham, a mixed urban and rural district near Newcastle upon
Tyne, in the UK. The survey was conducted in 1972-1974 to study
heart disease and thyroid disease.  A follow-up on those in the
survey was conducted twenty years later.
