Filter by:To evaluate whether the long-term use of oral contraceptives, after discontinuation, was associated with an increased incidence of first nonfatal myocardial infarction among women above the age of 50.
To monitor the relationship of lifestyle variables, particularly exercise, to cardiovascular mortality, all-cause mortality, projected longevity and aging, and cardiovascular morbidity in a large cohort of college graduates. To assess changing patterns of exercise, cigarette smoking, body weight, and blood pressure between the 1960s and 1990s for relationship to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
To determine the role of apolipoprotein B and apolipoprotein A1 in the etiology of coronary artery disease.
To examine the role of isolated systolic hypertension and other predictors of all-cause and coronary heart disease mortality in elderly Blacks and whites of the Charleston Heart Study cohort of 1960 and to compare and pool those findings with the Evans County Heart Study findings in order to develop a logistic risk function for Blacks. Also, to identify predictors of physical functioning in older Blacks and whites and to prepare rosters of the off-spring of the Charleston cohort for future studies of genetic/familial influences on cardiovascular disease.
To field test the validity, reliability, cost, and cost-benefit of Health Risk Appraisal (HRA) instruments.
To continue a study of premature coronary heart disease mortality among men and women aged 35-54 in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
To improve the predictive validity of Structured Interview assessments of Type A behavior by comparing interviewer techniques in the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT) and the Western Collaborative Group Study (WCGS). To assess whether there were interviewer differences in the predictiveness of Type A behavior and its components for coronary heart disease incidence in MRFIT and WCGS and if so, to assess whether the interviewer differences in disease predictiveness were related to interviewer stylistics.
To ascertain the sixteen year mortality status of the 361,662 middle-aged men screened in 1973-1975 for the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT).
To test the physiological and psychosocial correlates of Type A behavior.
To supplement the fourth National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey protocol to include data on the common heart, vascular, lung, and blood diseases.
