An adaptation of the Framingham coronary heart disease risk function to European Mediterranean areas
Aim: To determine whether the Framingham function accurately predicts the 10 year risk of coronary disease and to adapt this predictive method to the characteristics of a Spanish population. Method and Results: A Framingham function for predicting 10 year coronary deaths and non-fatal myocardial infarction was applied to the population of the province of Gerona, Spain, where the cumulated incidence rate of myocardial infarction has been determine…
The effects of specific medical conditions on the functional limitations of elders in the Framingham Study
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this study was to identify associations between specific medical conditions in the elderly and limitations in functional tasks; to compare risks of disability across medical conditions, controlling for age, sex, and comorbidity; and to determine the proportion of disability attributable to each condition. METHODS. The subjects were 709 noninstitutionalized men and 1060 women of the Framingham Study cohort (mean age 73.7…
The Framingham Disability Study
The relation between coronary heart disease and disability was examined in 2,576 community-dwelling women and men ages 55-88 years. These Framingham Study participants were originally recruited in 1948-51 for an examination of cardiovascular disease. Twenty-seven years later, remaining members of the cohort were interviewed to ascertain physical abilities, and a score on a disability scale was assigned. Multivariate logistic analyses examined dis…
The Electrocardiogram in Epidemiological Studies
The means available for identifying coronary disease in the community are regrettably limited.A history of chest pain may be elicited and judicious questions may enable one to decide if this was cardiac or not.If cardiac pain has been experienced, clinical examination may reveal conditions other than coronary disease (congenital, valvular, or hypertensive disease, for example) which could be responsible.Finally an electrocardiogram (ECG) may be t…
