CHD Risk Factor Study

The CHD Risk Factor Study was a research project that investigated what factors increase the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), such as heart attacks. It examined various health indicators like cholesterol levels, blood pressure, smoking habits, and lifestyle choices in a large group of people. The goal was to identify which factors most strongly predict heart disease, helping healthcare providers develop better prevention and treatment strategies. Essentially, it provided a clearer understanding of how certain behaviors and health conditions impact heart health, guiding efforts to reduce the risk of CHD.
