Prospective epidemiologic studies have uniformly demonstrated that a high plasma cholesterol level is indicative of an increased risk of myocardial infarction. Beside elevated serum cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, hypertension, obesity, and stress have been correlated with an elevated incidence of atherosclerosis. At the Medical Department in Heidelberg it was demonstrated that four weeks after myocardial infarction (MI) only 59 percent of 753 men and 53 percent of 348 women were still alive, and that smoking cigarettes leads to early MI. Nonsmokers had their first MI at 63 years, cigarette smokers at the age of 53. These results stress the importance of early detection of the above-mentioned risk factors.
前瞻性流行病学研究一致表明，高血浆胆固醇水平表明心肌梗死风险增加。除了血清胆固醇升高外，糖尿病、吸烟、高血压、肥胖和压力也与动脉粥样硬化发病率升高相关。在海德堡的内科，研究表明，心肌梗死（MI）四周后，753名男性中只有59%存活，348名女性中只有53%存活，并且吸烟会导致早期心肌梗死。不吸烟者首次发生心肌梗死的年龄为63岁，吸烟者为53岁。这些结果强调了早期发现上述风险因素的重要性。
