National views: Australia.
The Austrialian scene in this area would seem to show the same features, and haze, as are found in many other countries. There is general recognition of atherosclerotic problems, of the common risk factors and of the need for prevention. Learned and informed bodies such as The Australian Academy of Science and The National Heart Foundation of Australia have made recommendations along  familiar lines, involving especially dietary changes, as preventive measures. The basis for these recommendations has been a general review of the subject and doses not include anything uniquely Australian. The admission of uncertainty about causes and prevention, awareness of controversy, confusion, ignorance and a natural reluctance to change habits no doubt contribute to popular disregard for the recommendations at the present time.
