    This paper presents some preliminary findings from one particular Cardiovascular Diseases and Alimentary Comparison (CARDIAC) Study data collection center. The population and the environment of the Western Isles, Scotland, from where the subjects were drawn, are described. The methodology was as according to the CARDIAC Study protocol.
