A five-year follow-up of 18 403 male British civil servants between the age of 40 and 64, who had been the subject of an earlier clinical survey found 277 deaths from coronary heart-disease (C.H.D.). After adjusting for age, current cigarette smoking, systolic and diastolic blood-pressure, and blood-cholesterol were shown to be related to both the prevalence of one or more indices of cardiac ischaemia and to the risk of cardiac death. Neither blood-glucose two hours after a 50 g load nor weight/height showed any such simple linear association with mortality. Multivariate analysis confirmed that the main risk factors were independently related to cardiac morbidity and mortality. Irrespective of blood-pressure or plasma-cholesterol, current cigarette smokers thus had a higher risk of C.H.D. death than those not smoking cigarettes.
