Answer to Question 1

This forum is amazing.

Answer to Question 2

The general pace of life in a community (as indicated by speed of walking and talking, speed with which bank tellers work, and proportion of individuals wearing watches) is related to deaths from CHD. A fast pace of life is associated with higher rates of CHD. In addition, rates of CHD are lower in parts of the world where tradition and family ties are strong. The low rate of CHD in Japan and the high rate in the U.S. suggest the role of these cultural factors. The change in the CHD rate in Roseto, Pennsylvania is cited as an example of how changes in culture can affect heart disease rates.

Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
