TL;DR
Antecedent major CHD risk factor exposures were very common among those who developed CHD, emphasizing the importance of considering all major risk factors in determiningCHD risk estimation and in attempting to prevent clinical CHD.
Abstract
Antecedent major CHD risk factor exposures were very common among those who developed CHD, emphasizing the importance of considering all major risk factors in determining CHD risk estimation and in attempting to prevent clinical CHD. These results challenge claims that CHD events commonly occur in persons without exposure to at least 1 major CHD risk factor.

Dairy therapy remains the first line of treatment of high blood cholesterol, and drug therapy is reserved for patients who are considered to be at high risk for CHD, and the fundamental approach to treatment is comparable.

The approaches described in this statement can be used for guidance at several levels of primary prevention; however, the statement does not attempt to specifically link risk assessment to treatment guidelines for particular risk factors, but provides critical background information that could be used in the development of new treatment guidelines.

Based on these very large cohort studies, for individuals with favorable levels of cholesterol and blood pressure who do not smoke and do not have diabetes, MI, or ECG abnormalities, long-term mortality is much lower and longevity is much greater.

It is concluded that CRP predicts future cardiovascular events in women aged 45 and above more reliably than does elevated LDL cholesterol but that screening for both of these markers may be the best policy.

The correlations between serum cholesterol concentrations and blood pressure and national mortality from coronary heart disease in the periods 1959-61, 1964-6, 1969-71, and 1974-6 suggest that the "incubation period" between exposure to major coronary risk factors and the maximum effects on mortality may be 10 years or more.
