Key result
In Malmö, age- and sex-adjusted incidence of myocardial infarction varied significantly across 17 city areas (469 to 681 per 100,000; P=0.003), explaining about 70% of the variance in mortality.

There are significant intra-urban variations in the incidence and mortality of myocardial infarction, with mortality variance largely explained by incidence variance.
Tydén et al. (1998) conducted an observational in Myocardial infarction / Ischaemic heart disease. Intra-urban residence and time trends was evaluated on Incidence and mortality of ischaemic heart disease. In Malmö, age- and sex-adjusted incidence of myocardial infarction varied significantly across 17 city areas (469 to 681 per 100,000; P=0.003), explaining about 70% of the variance in mortality.
