The hypothesis upon which this study was based is that there is a relationship between mortality from @entity1820 and living standards. On this basis we found significant correlations between the intake of animal proteins and the mortality rates for @entity356 . The negative correlation coefficient (r = - 0.85) is an expression of the inverse relationship between @entity356 mortality rates. This inverse relationship is also expressed as the correlation between the food intake, expressed by the intake of animal protein, and the respective mortality rates. The higher the food intake, the lower the @entity356 mortality rate but the higher the @entity5 mortality rate. We do not claim that this relationship discovered by correlation analysis is a causal one. On the basis of this study it cannot therefore be said that food intake has a direct effect on the development of @entity1820 . In this respect our findings can only be a signal for further studies. Secondly no time lag has been proved between food intake and the mortality rate for @entity5 . The findings relating to @entity356 do not contradict the hypothesis of a time lag.
