Abstract
A secondary analysis of the Health Surveys for England data was performed to explore the use of lipid-lowering drug therapy in people with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) across ethnic groups. There were significant associations with age group, type of IHD, and housing tenure and the taking of lipid-lowering drugs. There was no significant association with ethnic group.
