Why the study?
Do lifestyle and biologic risk factors predict clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis in middle-aged men?
Do lifestyle and biologic risk factors predict clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis in middle-aged men?
Long-term follow-up supports the predictive utility of traditional risk factors for atherosclerosis and reinforces the need for lifestyle modifications in middle-aged men.
May support long-term risk assessment in middle-aged men; leaves open causal effects on specific manifestations.
The results of this prospective epidemiologic study provide insights to the long-term predictive utility of the commonly accepted risk factors for coronary heart disease in relation to the different clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis in a middle-aged male cohort followed up for approximately 20 years. These results provide additional support for risk factor modification in middle-aged men and for the encouragement of positive long-term lifestyle changes.
