Implication

Supports traditional CHD risk assessment in Japanese men; extends Western observations but leaves open causal confirmation in prospective studies.

Key Points

The study aims to identify factors associated with the incidence of coronary heart disease in Japanese men.
Examine 8,006 Japanese men born between 1900-1919 during a baseline health assessment.
Followed up with participants two years later to identify new cases of coronary heart disease and associated factors.
Evaluate the relationship of various health metrics (cholesterol, blood pressure, weight, uric acid, smoking) to CHD incidence.
101 new cases of coronary heart disease identified during the two-year study period.
Strong association between serum cholesterol and relative weight with CHD incidence.
Cigarette smoking linked to CHD, excluding angina pectoris; glucose intolerance showed a reverse relationship.

In a cohort of Japanese men in Honolulu, incident coronary heart disease was strongly associated with traditional risk factors including elevated serum cholesterol, blood pressure, relative weight, uric acid, and cigarette smoking.
