In the 1950s, several epidemiological studies were set in motion with the aim of clarifying the cause of cardiovascular disease.

This is particularly true when looking at risk factors of CHD associated with the FRS after adjustment for other covariates especially in healthy subjects.

متن کاملFactors Related to Coronary Heart Disease Risk Among Men: Validation of the Framingham Risk Score
INTRODUCTION Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains a leading cause of death in the United States.

We hypothesize that the FRS will be significantly predictive of CHD events among men in the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study (ACLS) population. METHODS Our study consisted of 34,557 men who ...
متن کاملAdding multiple risk factors improves Framingham coronary heart disease risk scores
PURPOSE Since the introduction of the Framingham Risk Score (FRS), numerous versions of coronary heart disease (CHD) prediction models have claimed improvement over the FRS. Tzoulaki et al challenged the validity of these claims by illustrating methodology deficiencies among the studies. However, the question remains: Is it possible to create a new CHD model that is better than FRS while overco...
