Framingham Heart Study Update

I was reading today in the WSJ that DNA will be collected from participants in this historic study to discern the causes of common diseases such as heart disease and stroke. Researchers plan to collect information on as many as 500,000 genetic markers from each of the 9,000 heart-study patients.

The presence or absence of certain markers can be compared against a person's cholesterol levels or whether they have diabetes. Scientists hope to find genes associated with those conditions, according to the article.

Was this the study that launched the push to lower cholesterol?

Re: Framingham Heart Study Update

Lately I buy ARIZONA jeans...the're cheaper! Penney's has a huge heap in what they call the jean pool!

Yes, Jane, that's the same Framingham study that was started in 1948 under the direction of the NIH (now the NHLBI) to get to the root of what causes heart disease. It's now recruiting and studying the third generation of original people.

Well, as long as the name ARIZONA appears on them, they can't be all that bad.
