Why the study?
Do major modifiable risk factors predict coronary heart disease mortality similarly in black and white men with diabetes?
Do major modifiable risk factors predict coronary heart disease mortality similarly in black and white men with diabetes?
Major modifiable risk factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, smoking) similarly increase the risk of CHD mortality in both black and white men with diabetes, highlighting the potential for prevention in both groups.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Risk factors may increase CHD mortality similarly across races in diabetic men; leaves open whether prevention strategies require tailoring.
