A selection of study findings on cholesterol in the Seven Countries Study.
Large differences in global CHD risk within Europe A re-analysis of the 10-year follow-up data of the SCS published in 2000 showed large differences between northern and southern [...]
Individual risk factors and CHD prevention in the past In the 1960s and 70s, the Seven Countries Study and many other studies identified serum cholesterol, systolic blood [...]
High blood pressure and smoking were risk factors for three major CVDs while serum cholesterol predicted only CHD Blood pressure and cigarette smoking predicted overall cardiovascular disease [...]
In the FINE Study the relations of classic cardiovascular risk factors with subsequent all-cause mortality were investigated in men aged 65-84 at baseline.
Data showed that poor lung function in midlife was associated with steeper increases of depressive symptoms in old age.
Men with a history of CVD at baseline had a 94% higher risk of dementia compared to those with no history.
The results show that the average intake of dietary saturated fat of the 16 cohorts was strongly correlated with average serum cholesterol level.
Cholesterol found in the blood serum is, in higher quantities, associated with a higher incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD). This is the conclusion after observing serum cholesterol levels and CHD risk mortality for forty years.
