Sinopsis

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 from CHD, the author illuminates contemporary thinking on how changes in the economic and social order influence men?s health.
