Concerning mortality, CHD incidence and mortality rates started to decline surprisingly quickly after the start of the intervention in North Karelia. In the rest of the country, a similar decline started several years later. Thus a significant net change in favour of North Karelia was observed, especially in 1974 to 1979 (Salonen et al, 1983). Thereafter, although the decline in North Karelia continued, the net decline was gradually reduced. Thus maximal difference in favour of the intervention area was observed some 5-8 years after its start (Puska et al, 1995). For cancer mortality, a net reduction in favour of North Karelia could be observed much later, i.e., 5 to 10 years after the intervention commenced.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=unknown&rft.btitle=THE+NORTH+KARELIA+PROJECT%3A+FROM+NORTH+KARELIA+TO+NATIONAL+ACTION&rft.pub=National+Institute+for+Health+and+Welfare+%28Finland%29&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thl.fi%2Fthl-client%2Fpdfs%2F731beafd-b544-42b2-b853-baa87db6a046&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ANorth+Karelia" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-7"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-7">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://northkarelia.fi/2020/12/north-karelia-is-in-fact-in-finland-and-found-to-be-its-most-social-region/">"Ever heard the saying "quiet like a Finn"?"</a>.
