I don't think that the Scandinavians have ever seen a longitudinal study that they did not like.In fact Scandinavia abounds with all types of longitudinal studies.They seem to follow people around and keep good records.The mammogram study just released is a case in point. Contrary to the U.S idea that women should wait after age 50 to get regular mammograms,the study released by a Swedish medical team concludes that women should begin testing much earlier and check every two years.The Swedish study found a statistically significant decrease in cancer rates when compared to the "wait after 50" U.S model. As the cross-cultural dude on Tips,I urge caution about this.Scandinavian women take better care of their health than their U.S counterpart,re nutrition and exercise.Besides they are the happiest people in the world.
