Filter by:To compare rates of coronary heart disease (CHD), cancer, total mortality and exercise injuries in 68,000 runners and 68,000 walkers during four years of surveillance
To analyze existing data from the Physicians Health Study (PHS), a randomized primary prevention trial of low-dose aspirin and beta carotene conducted among 22,071 U.S. male physicians, to address questions concerning aspirin and cardiovascular (CV) disease that could not adequately be addressed during the randomized aspirin period.
To conduct a pooled analysis of NHANES I/II data on race, gender, and coronary heart disease.
The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) was initiated to study the correlates, predictors, and progression of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) (disease detected non-invasively before it has produced clinical signs and symptoms) in a diverse population-based sample of men and women aged 45-84 who had no evidence of clinical CVD at baseline (www.mesa-nhlbi.org). During 2000-2002, 6,814 participants were recruited from six field centers (Forsyth County, NC; Northern Manhattan and the Bronx, NY; Baltimore City and Baltimore County, MD; St. Paul, MN; Chicago, IL; and Los Angeles County, CA). The ethnic composition of the recruited cohort was 38% Caucasian, 28% African American, 22% Hispanic, and 12% Chinese. An extensive baseline exam focused on critical CVD risk factors and subclinical disease measures. Five subsequent exams took place through 2018 to assess changes in these measures and to explore new innovative research questions. Cohort members are contacted annually to obtain information about intervening hospitalizations and outpatient cardiovascular-related procedures. Relevant medical records are abstracted and reviewed and clinical endpoints of interest are adjudicated. The study is comprised of one Coordinating Center, six Field Centers and one biospecimen repository.
To test the hypotheses that the risk of myocardial infarction and/or stroke is associated with elevated plasma levels of homocysteine, and low plasma levels of folate, vitamins B12 and B6.
To better understand the excess cardiovascular disease associated with diabetes mellitus.
To test hypotheses related to gender differences in cardiovascular mortality trends between 1980 and 1991 in two southeastern New England communities which were part of the Pawtucket Heart Health Program.
To estimate the relative risks of acute myocardial infarction (MI) and of stroke in postmenopausal users of estrogen/progestogen (E/P) combinations and to estimate the relative risks of MI and of stroke in users of estrogen alone.
To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of cholesterol-lowering strategies in the United States population. The study used the Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) Policy Model, a state-transition computer simulation model used to obtain forecasts of the public health impact and economic cost of CHD in the United States population.
To identify individual genes that contribute to variation in susceptibility to coronary heart disease (CHD) in Mexican Americans. The program project grant supports the San Antonio Family Heart Study, the first comprehensive genetic epidemiological study of atherosclerosis and its correlates in Mexican Americans.
