Serum total cholesterol (> or = 6.7 mmol/L) measured in 1960 in the Charleston Heart Study cohort was found to be a risk for mortality from coronary heart disease during the period of 1960 to 1988 in white men (relative risk [RR] 1.5; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.1, 2.2), white women (RR 1.7; 95% CI: 1.1, 2.7), and black women (RR 1.6; 95% CI: .9, 2.9) after age, systolic blood pressure, smoking status, education level, obesity, and diabetes were considered. For black men, the relative risk was .96 (95% CI, .39, 2.39). Only among white women was the relative risk (RR 2.4; 95% CI, 1.2, 4.5) increased among those in the older ages (55 to 74) in 1960. The evidence for cholesterol as a risk factor for coronary disease mortality in black men is inconclusive and requires further study.
