Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0xS6wif. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Background : An international comparison has indicated that the association between smoking and cardiovascular disease (CVD) differs according to total cholesterol (TC) levels. However, little has been published about the relationship between smoking and CVD mortality among populations with various cholesterol levels. Methods : We calculated the adjusted relative hazard (RH) of smoking for CVD mortality among 8912 Japanese individuals without a history of stroke or heart disease, who were separated according to TC levels of>5.40,4.81-5.39,4.26-80 and |
