TL;DR
New sex-specific models from The Framingham Heart Study for primary and secondary CHD have been produced and are useful tools for better understanding the relation between risk factors and the occurrences of CHD events in individuals who are free of cardiovascular disease as well as persons who have had a prior CHD event or stroke.
Abstract
These new models are useful tools for better understanding the relation between risk factors and the occurrences of CHD events in individuals who are free of cardiovascular disease as well as persons who have had a prior CHD event or stroke. With the development of these latter models, the importance of blood lipid levels, diabetes, and, in women, systolic blood pressure and cigarette smoking as independent predictors of risk is once again underscored.

The major potent lipid risk factor was HDL cholesterol, which had an inverse association with the incidence of coronary heart disease in either men or women and these associations were equally significant even when other lipids and other standard risk factors for coronaryHeart disease were taken into consideration.

Based on combined data from prospective studies, triglyceride is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease for both men and women in the general population, independent of HDL cholesterol.

Using a simple worksheet, a patient's 5- and 10-year CHD risks can be estimated using components of the profile selected because they are objective and strongly and independently related to CHD.

A health risk appraisal function has been developed for the prediction of stroke using the Framingham Study cohort and may help to identify persons at substantially increased stroke risk resulting from borderline levels of multiple risk factors such as those with mild or borderline hypertension and facilitate multifactorial risk factor modification.

516 Citations1994Bruce Kinosian, Henry Glick +1 more
To better understand the value of the total cholesterol/HDL ratio as a summary measure of risk for coronary heart disease, the ability of this ratio to predict persons who will and will not develop coronaryHeart disease was examined, using statistical tests to compare this ratio with other cholesterol measures.

Interestingly, this analysis revealed a significant and independent association between serum levels of triglycerides and the incidence of major coronary events and lipoprotein(a) levels are sensitive indicators of increased riskmajor coronary events.

427 Citations1993Michael H. Criqui, Gerardo Heiss +8 more
Overall, the plasma triglyceride level showed no independent association with coronary mortality, but in subgroups of subjects with lower HDL and LDL cholesterol levels and in younger subjects, defined a priori, an association was observed, although this association was small and was not statistically significant after an adjustment for the plasma glucose level.
The American Journal of CardiologyEpidemiology of triglycerides: A view from Framingham
339 Citations1992W P Castelli
New analyses from the Framingham Heart Study are presented showing that men and women who have high triglyceride levels and a low high-density lipoprotein level run a significantly higher rate of coronary artery disease and can be identified, and that this risk group (high triglyceride-low HDL) is, independently of the major risk factors (including low HDL), related to occurrence of coronary arteries disease.

The technique is a generalized person-years approach in that it treats each observation interval as a mini-follow-up study in which the current risk factor measurements are employed to predict an event in the interval.

224 Citations1993Elliot Rapaport
A consensus panel weighed the evidence and prepared their consensus statement, finding that existing data provide considerable support for a causal relationship between low HDL and CHD and there is a strong consensus that hygienic approaches should be employed to lower TG and/or raise HDL.

210 Citations1995Steven A. Grover
The ratio of total plasma cholesterol level to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level is as accurate as current American screening guidelines, and future guidelines should better incorporate high- density cholesterol levels and nonlipid risk factors to target high-risk individuals accurately.

Epidemiologic research continues to produce additional independent risk factors, including small dense LDL, Lp(a), isolated systolic hypertension, the insulin-resistance syndrome, leucocyte count, plasma fibrinogen, homocystinemia, and sleep disturbance.

Data from the Framingham Heart Study are used to derive equations for long-term predicted probabilities for death and a variety of cardiovascular endpoints, and the varying scale model provided a significantly better fit.
PubMedDiet, smoking, and alcohol: influence on coronary heart disease risk.
16 Citations1990W P Castelli
Blood lipoproteins, rather than total blood cholesterol, have been found to be more accurate predictors of CHD risk, and blood triglyceride, previously considered to have little bearing on CHDrisk, was found to have a negative impact in many cases.

The results indicate that even though a lipoprotein cholesterol does not have a significant independent association with CHD, there may still be an important link between the lipop protein cholesterol and CHD risk even in a multivariate setting.
HDL cholesterol and triglycerides as risk factors for CHD
2 Citations1990Peter W.F. Wilson, Keaven M. Anderson
The association of CHD with LDL-C levels are uniformly stronger than with triglyceride levels in Framingham cohort where the tests were performed simultaneously, and the lipid fraction HDL-C is associated with the occurrence of subsequent myocardial infarction even at cholesterol levels below 200 mg/dl in both men and women.
