  • Total and differential white blood cell counts predict eight-year incident coronary heart disease in elderly Japanese-American men: The Honolulu Heart Program

    2015, Atherosclerosis
    Citation Excerpt :

    A total of 8006 men, born between 1900 and 1919, were identified from the World War II Selective Service Registry. Details of the cohort selection process have been previously published [22]. The first examination was performed between 1965 and 1968, and subjects underwent repeat examinations as part of a comprehensive follow up of surviving cohort members.

    2014, Annals of Epidemiology
    Citation Excerpt :

    We examined the relationship between proteinuria based on urine dipstick on two separate occasions and 39-year all-cause mortality. The Honolulu Heart Program is an ongoing prospective epidemiologic cohort study of coronary heart disease and stroke established in 1965 in 8006 Japanese American men, born between 1900 and 1919, living on Oahu, HI [8], and recruited from World War II Selective Service Registration files [9]. Details of the study design have been published previously [10].

    2012, American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry
    Citation Excerpt :

    The Honolulu Heart Program began as a prospective study of cardiovascular diseases in 8,006 men of Japanese ancestry living on the island of Oahu, Hawaii in 1965, born between 1900 and 1919. All men of Japanese ancestry identified by using World War II selective service registration cards were invited to participate.10 Since 1965, the full cohort has been examined nine more times and an eleventh examination cycle is in progress.

  • Lifetime risks of cardiovascular disease

    2012, New England Journal of Medicine
    Citation Excerpt :

    We included data sets in the Cardiovascular Lifetime Risk Pooling Project if they met the following criteria: they represented either community-based or population-based samples or large volunteer cohorts, they included at least one baseline examination with direct measurement of physiological and anthropometric (e.g., weight) variables, and they included 10 or more years of follow-up for fatal or nonfatal cardiovascular events or both. Data from 18 unique cohorts were included in the study, 17 of which were included in the pooled analysis11–32 (all cohorts are listed in the Supplementary Appendix, available with the full text of this article at NEJM.org). Because of the large size of one study, the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT), relative to the other 17 studies, this cohort was analyzed separately.
