English, Willius and Berkson first demonstrated the statistical validity of this finding in 1940, when they compared the records of 1,000 smokers and 1,000 nonsmokers and found a significantly higher incidence of coronary artery disease among smokers 40 to 59 years old than among nonsmokers of comparable age.1The authors expressed the belief that "in all probability the smoking of tobacco was not an etiologic factor but was perhaps an influence that affected the...Bibliography1.
