Outcome

Incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) and myocardial infarctionhard clinical

A 26-year follow-up of a Japanese cohort confirmed that age, elevated blood pressure, serum cholesterol, and smoking are major independent risk factors for coronary heart disease.

Limitations

An accurate trend of angina pectoris was difficult to evaluate in this study
