AWhat changed
Fitted and assessed categorical risk-factor equations for coronary heart disease using Framingham follow-up.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact six-author 1998 report and its middle-aged, predominantly white Framingham sample. It is a prediction study rather than a treatment trial, does not establish every factor as causal, and requires external validation before transport to other populations.
