What is the 10-year incidence of coronary heart disease and its associated risk factors in Japanese men living in Hawaii?
In a cohort of Japanese men in Hawaii, systolic blood pressure and smoking were the strongest risk factors for CHD, while alcohol consumption was protective against fatal CHD and nonfatal MI.
Yano et al. (1984) conducted a cohort in Coronary heart disease (n=7,705). Biologic and lifestyle characteristics (risk factors) was evaluated on Incidence of total coronary heart disease and specific manifestations. Over 10 years of follow-up, 511 new CHD cases occurred among 7705 Japanese men in Hawaii, with systolic blood pressure and cigarette smoking identified as the most powerful risk factors.
