Why the study?
Does risk-factor burden affect the lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease across different races and birth cohorts?
Does risk-factor burden affect the lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease across different races and birth cohorts?
Risk-factor burden significantly impacts the lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease consistently across different races and birth cohorts.
Risk-factor control may lower lifetime CVD risk across races; extends prior cohorts but leaves causal effects open for trials.
Differences in risk-factor burden translate into marked differences in the lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease, and these differences are consistent across race and birth cohorts. (Funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.).
