First Lifetime Heart Disease Risk Assessment Developed Lloyd-Jones and colleagues from Northwestern University used data from the Framingham Heart Study, which has followed thousands of people for decades, to calculate lifetime cardiovascular risk among 50-year-olds. The researchers reviewed the medical records of 3,564 men and 4,362 women who did not have any record of cardiovascular disease at age 50. The men and women were followed for several decades and all cases of heart attack, coronary heart disease, angina, stroke, claudication (pain in the legs caused by circulation problems), and death from cardiovascular disease were recorded. When the researchers calculated the impact of modifiable risk factors such as body weight, smoking history, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure, they found that: --Smokers and nonsmokers had similar lifetime risks for cardiovascular disease. The study appears in the Feb. 14,2006 issue of the American Heart Association journal 'Circulation'. (SOURCES: Lloyd-Jones, D.M. "Circulation", Feb. 14, 2006, vol. 113: online. Donald M.
