Brett, M. (Department of Community Medicine, South Block, Southampton General Hospital, Southampton S09 4xy, England) and Barker, D. J. P. The World distribution of gallstones. International Journal of Epidemilogy 1976, 5: 335–341

This paper presents two maps summarising all available published data on the world distribution of gallstones as recorded from autopsy studies. It is suggested that further autopsy studies are required, especially in Asia, Russia, the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean countries and South America. Such studies could be readily carried out and would contribute to our understanding of the aetiology of gallstones.
