Samenvatting
Are men truly marked by their personality to fall victim to heart disease? This book offers a sociological analysis of medical knowledge, gender, and coronary heart disease (CHD) in post-WWII America. Using data on men's high death rates, it illuminates contemporary thinking on how changes in the economic and social order influence men's health.
