Filter by:To conduct a large-scale community-based demonstration and education research project designed to evaluate the effectiveness of multiple educational strategies on risk factor reduction and the primary prevention of population-wide cardiovascular diseases in three intervention communities compared with three control communities. The program was evaluated by cross-sectional surveys, a longitudinal survey, and morbidity and mortality surveillance.
To determine the incidence, secular trends, and outcomes of coronary heart disease in the population of Rochester, Minnesota.
To determine the role of genetic factors in predicting resistance and susceptibility to coronary artery disease.
To continue surveillance of cardiovascular disease risk factors in the seven-county area of Minneapolis-St. Paul.
To further clarify the concept of coronary-prone behavior and to develop methods of assessing coronary-prone behavior. Specifically, to revise the component scoring system for Potential for Hostility in the Structured Interviews measure of Type A behavior.
To continue the comprehensive research program on the epidemiology of cardiovascular and other major chronic diseases, including cancer and diabetes, in four Chicago population cohorts. The four cohorts include the Chicago Heart Association Detection Project in Industry cohort, the Peoples Gas Company cohort first examined in 1958-1959, the Peoples Gas Company cohort first examined in 1959-1962, and the Western Electric Company cohort.
To determine the genetics and epidemiology of different types of early familial coronary disease. Accurate markers of major gene syndromes for early coronary disease were identified using a genetic segregation and linkage study of lipids, lipoproteins, apolipoproteins, and DNA probes in 36 large Utah pedigrees.
To identify and evaluate genetic and non-genetic determinants of coronary heart disease (CHD), atherosclerosis, and their risk factors in ongoing population-based epidemiology studies. The multicenter study was conducted in three phases which were: Phase I, the family history component: Phase II, the clinical examination and follow-up component; and Phase III, the molecular genetic and genetic epidemiology studies component.
To determine morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease among American Indians and to compare cardiovascular disease risk factor levels among Indian groups living in different geographic areas.
To determine if the Black-white differences in the development of obesity in pubescent females were due to differences in psychosocial, socioeconomic and other environmental factors. Also, to determine whether differences in the development of obesity led to Black-white differences in other coronary heart disease risk factors, such as blood pressure and serum lipids.
