Cecelia B Snowden,Patricia M. McNamara,Robert J. Garrison,Manning Feinleib,William B. Kannel,Frederick H. Epstein +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that familial aggregation for coronary heart disease may result from predisposition to disease, possibly genetic, that is not reflected in the measured levels of total cholesterol, systolic blood pressure or cigarette smoking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robert J. Garrison,William P. Castelli,Manning Feinleib,William B. Kannel,Richard J. Havlik,Padgett S,Patricia M. McNamara +6 more
TL;DR: Since the significant association for lipoproteins in spouse pairs disappears on adjustment for correlates but the association for siblings does not, it is likely that the sibling lipoprotein associations result from either genetic or environmental factors shared early in life.
