Yejin Mok,Yingying Sang,Shoshana H. Ballew,Casey M. Rebholz,Wayne D. Rosamond,Gerardo Heiss,Aaron R. Folsom,Josef Coresh,Kunihiro Matsushita +8 more
TL;DR: Optimal Life's Simple 7 at middle age was associated with better prognosis after myocardial infarction in later life, suggesting a secondary prevention benefit of having better cardiovascular health status in midlife.
Journal ArticleDOI
Race and gender differences in cord blood lipoproteins
TL;DR: Cord blood concentrations of both lipoproteins and apolipoproteins were examined in black and white neonates of both sexes, supporting the concept that the difference in lipoprotein concentration observed between race and gender groups includes a significant genetic component.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The decline in serum cholesterol was found to be consistent with the observed changes in dietary fat intake in the 1960s, and it was found that a decline in cholesterol of 5 mg/dl would predict a 4.3% decline in 6-year coronary heart disease death rates in middle-aged men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myocardial Infarction Site and Mortality in Diabetes
TL;DR: The findings from this study suggest that the presence of both anterior size and diabetic status is synergistic with regard to the 60-day mortality rate.
