Filter by: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.
To measure associations of established and suspected coronary heart disease risk factors with both atherosclerosis and new coronary heart disease events in representative cohorts from four diverse United States communities. To compare the communities with respect to risk factors, medical care, atherosclerosis, and coronary heart disease incidence. ARIC has two components in each community: study of representative cohorts of adult men and women, and community surveillance of morbidity and mortality.
To measure changes in coronary heart disease risk factors in cohorts of Black and white males and females 18 to 30 years of age at baseline. Also, to identify life styles during this age span which influence these changes in risk factors.
To conduct epidemiologic surveys of the distribution, causes, and consequences of the dyslipoproteinemias. The Population Studies include the Prevalence Study, the Family Study, and the Mortality Follow-up Study and shared the same general population base.
To conduct longitudinal and cross-sectional studies of risk factors for coronary heart disease and hypertension in school age children and adults who had been examined in previous screens.
To conduct a baseline survey on cardiovascular, respiratory, and other major systemic disease and risk factors in members of the Vietnam Era Twin Registry.
To continue a registry of World War II veteran twins maintained by the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council (NAS-NRC).
To assess genetic effects on the variation of cardiovascular and pulmonary risk factors in a cohort of 514 pairs of white male veteran twins.
To investigate coronary heart disease and stroke among American men of Japanese ancestry who were living on the island of Oahu in 1965. Morbidity and mortality surveillance of the original cohort is continuing.
