What clinical, biochemical, and lifestyle factors discriminate men under 65 years of age with clinically overt coronary heart disease from healthy controls?
This study aimed to identify clinical, biochemical, and lifestyle factors that discriminate men with early-onset coronary heart disease from healthy controls.
Highlights candidate factors for early-onset CHD in men; leaves open prospective validation before clinical use.
In our study, 9I men, under 65 years of age, with clinically overt coronary heart disease were compared with 98 healthy men in respect of fasting plasma cholesterol, triglyceride and other lipid moieties, relevant past andfamily history, smoking habits, a ponderal index, blood pressure, and prevalence of corneal arcus, xanthomata, and baldness. Some dietary aspects were also taken into account.
