Description

Documentation part: Record 8 Baseline Personal History The Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) was initiated by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) in 1987 to determine the risk factors for development and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in older adults, with an emphasis on subclinical measures. The study recruited 5,888 adults aged 65 or older at entry in four U.S. communities and conducted extensive annual clinical exams between 1989-1999 along with semi-annual phone calls, events adjudication, and subsequent data analyses and publications. Additional data were collected by studies ancillary to CHS. With the exception of annual clinic visits, these activities are still ongoing. Data obtained from: https://chs-nhlbi.org/ Permission granted by: Erika Enright.
