Why the study?

Does a single measurement of coronary risk factors predict early and late coronary deaths in middle-aged men?

Population

1,622 CHD-free men aged 40-59 belonging to the Italian rural cohorts of the seven countries study

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

35 years

Authors

AMAlessandro MenottiGeneral / Preventive / Lipids

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

Baseline risk factor assessment may inform long-term CHD prognosis; extends prior associations to 35-year follow-up but needs contemporary validation.

Structured PICO

Does a single measurement of coronary risk factors predict early and late coronary deaths in middle-aged men?

Population

1,622 CHD-free men aged 40-59 belonging to the Italian rural cohorts of the seven countries study

Intervention

Single measurement of coronary risk factors (age, systolic blood pressure, serum total cholesterol, physical activity at work, body mass index, and cigarette smoking)

Outcome

Coronary heart disease (CHD) deaths (sudden death and definite myocardial infarction)hard clinical

A single measurement of coronary risk factors in middle-aged men maintains a constant and predictive relationship with CHD death over 35 years of follow-up.
