To review and illustrate the multivariable prediction of coronary artery disease using standard cardiovascular risk factors within the Framingham Heart Study.
Prospective cohort analysis of 2,590 women and 2,983 men aged 30 to 74 years at baseline from the Framingham Heart Study followed for 12 years.
Evaluated risk factors including age, sex, cigarette smoking, blood cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, blood pressure, left ventricular hypertrophy, and diabetes mellitus using logistic regression equations.
Over 12 years of follow-up, 385 cases of coronary artery disease occurred in men, with cumulative incidence increasing from 5% at ages 30 to 39 up to 26% at ages 70 to 74.
Among women, 241 cases of coronary artery disease occurred over 12 years, with cumulative incidence rising from 1% at ages 30 to 39 up to 20% at ages 70 to 74.

Population

5,573 adults (2,590 women and 2,983 men) aged 30 to 74 years at baseline from the Framingham Heart Study cohort

Incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD)hard clinical

This review discusses the application of traditional risk factors from the Framingham Heart Study to predict the 12-year incidence of coronary artery disease.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

CAD incidence rises sharply with age in both sexes; extends Framingham observations but leaves open validation in contemporary cohorts.
