Abstract

When US government scientists began recruiting residents of a Boston suburb for the Framingham Heart Study, the Cold War was just beginning, the personal computer was a fantasy and Watson and Crick had yet to reveal the structure of DNA. Since then, data collected from more than 10,000 Framingham residents have helped shape the modern idea of a 'healthy heart' by drawing clear links between diet, smoking, exercise and heart disease.
