Predictive Value of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) Biomarkers for CHD Death

Completed

Conditions studied: Cardiovascular Disease

In brief

The overall objective of this research proposal is to determine whether the predictive value of using plasma concentrations of selected nutrient biomarkers of food intake determined using a single plasma sample either alone or in combination are stronger, objective predictors of subsequent death from coronary heart disease (CHD) or myocardial infarct (MI) compared to selected food intake data derived from subjective, self-reported food frequency questionnaires.
