It has been argued that for a disease with strong familial aggregation, environmental risk factors alone are unlikely to account for such s...
متن کاملFamilial aggregation of coronary heart disease in a high incidence area (North Karelia, Finland).

متن کاملAccumulation of Non-Traditional Risk Factors for Coronary Heart Disease Is Associated with Incident Coronary Heart Disease Hospitalization and Death
BACKGROUND Assessing multiple traditional risk factors improves prediction for late-life diseases, including coronary heart disease (CHD). It appears that non-traditional risk factors can also predict risk. The objective was to investigate contributions of non-traditional risk factors to coronary heart disease risk using a deficit accumulation approach. METHODS Community-dwelling adults with ...
