Key result
Smoking, coffee intake, and physical inactivity are linked to adverse coronary risk factor profiles.
Why the study?
The influence of lifestyle factors such as smoking, coffee intake, and physical activity on coronary risk factors in middle-aged men was investigated to understand their relationship with blood markers of atherosclerosis.

Lifestyle habits associated with adverse lipid and fibrinogen profiles in middle-aged men; hypothesis-generating for lifestyle effects on coronary risk markers.
Cross-Sectional (n=165)
Do lifestyle factors such as smoking, coffee intake, and physical activity influence blood coronary risk factors in middle-aged men?
Lifestyle habits such as smoking, coffee intake, and physical inactivity are significantly associated with adverse lipid and fibrinogen profiles in middle-aged men.
Høstmark et al. (1992) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary risk factors (n=165). Smoking, coffee intake, and physical inactivity vs. Non-smoking, lower coffee intake, and physical activity was evaluated on Coronary risk factors in blood (plasma fibrinogen, TG, apo B, HDLc, TC, atherogenic index). Smoking, coffee intake, and physical inactivity were significantly associated with adverse coronary risk factor profiles, including higher total cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, and atherogenic index.
