Abstract

It has been well established that an elevated serum cholesterol level is one of the principal factors (risk factors) indicating a susceptibility to atherosclerotic heart disease (ASHD). Truswell (1978) has listed the large number of studies in which this relationship has been confirmed. The Framingham (Mass.) study (Kagan et al., 1962) has established the three major risk factors as elevated serum cholesterol levels (above 240 mg/dl), elevated systolic blood pressure (above 160 mm Hg) and excessive cigarette smoking (over 20 per day). There are data suggesting that serum triglycerides should also be considered a risk factor (Albrink et al., 1961; Carlson and Bottiger, 1972). In a recent comparison of ASHD death rates in 40-year-old Scottish and Swedish men, it was shown that the cholesterol levels of the two groups were similar, but the Scots, who had considerably higher coronary mortality, also had significantly higher serum triglyceride levels (Oliver et al., 1975). Strasser (1972) has listed over 30 factors related to the risk of ASHD, ranging from age to water softness and including items such as blood group, educational level, and personality type. The risk factors represent statistical diagnoses which are accurate for large populations but which may have less predictive value for individuals.

This research was supported in part by grants HL-03299 and HL-05209 and Research Career Award HL-0734 from the National Institutes of Health. This paper was presented as part of the Symposium on Nutrition and Chronic Diseases held under the auspices of the Nutrition Society of Canada at the University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, in June 23, 1978.
