Does the combination of elevated systolic blood pressure and serum cholesterol increase cardiovascular and coronary mortality in young adults?
The combination of elevated systolic blood pressure and serum cholesterol has an additive effect, dramatically increasing cardiovascular and coronary mortality risk in young adults, particularly men.
