  1. Factors associated with extremely low coronary mortality. Analysis I: multivariate analysis confined to towns of over 1,000 inhabitants (n 3,074). Analysis II: multivariate analysis with alternative definition criteria, including towns with zero deaths (n 397) as inframortality towns
  2. OR: Odds Ratio, derived from mixed-effects logistic regression models, adjusted for variables in the table.
  3. * Index of disposable family income: see description in Methods section
  4. ** Industrial index only available for towns over 1,000 inhabitants. See description in Methods section
