May aid mortality risk stratification in similar cohorts; leaves open cholesterol's relative priority pending further data.
Deubner et al. (1980) conducted an observational in Cardiovascular disease risk factors. Cardiovascular disease risk factors was evaluated on ten-year mortality. Systolic hypertension, smoking, and diabetes mellitus were confirmed as major risk factors for ten-year mortality, whereas cholesterol had only a small detrimental effect on the probability of death.
