- Abstract
Prospective epidemiological studies demonstrate an increase in coronary heart disease mortality in women beginning at values of body mass index > or = 22 kg. m(-2). However, the metabolic basis for this observation has not been adequately studied in women. Our aim was to examine the association between body mass index, metabolic coronary heart disease risk factors and a predicted 10-year coronary heart disease risk score in a large occupational cohort of women in the U.K.
