GRANT FOR STUDY OF CORONARY HEART DISEASE
(14) The Departments of Medicine and Preventive Medicine have submitted an
application to the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare
for a grant to study coronary heart disease. A group of employees of the Western
Electric Company who are believed to be free of coronary heart disease will
be studied over a period of five years. The original grant of $189,500 will be
for one year, and annual renewals are anticipated. Particular emphasis will be
given to the following factors which may have an effect on heart disease: body
build, body fatness, diet, hypertension, blood lipids, physical activity, heredity
(including geographic and national background), and emotional and psychological
factors.
The Dean of the College of Medicine, the Vice-President in charge of the
Chicago Professional Colleges, and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend
that if the application is approved, the funds be accepted for this research
work.
I concur.
On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved.
