This study was undertaken to determine the extent to which coronary heart disease risk factors are manifest in a young (17-35 years old) male military population. Approximately 360 individuals underwent medical and physical determination of body composition, blood cholesterol analysis, blood pressure measurement, history of smoking, and a maximal exercise stress test to assess maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) and the incidence of electrocardiographic abnormalities. Obesity (greater than 20% body fat), elevated blood cholesterol (greater than 200 mg/dl), and cigarette smoking (greater than 10 cigarettes/d) were the most predominant risk factors with incidences of 29, 32, and 36%, respectively. Only 2.4% of the sample had a positive stress test as indicated by an ST-segment depression of 1mm or greater. An inverse relationship between VO2 max and percent body fat was the only significant finding between level of aerobic power and risk factor prevalence. These data provide information on the prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors in an age group for which there has been only limited information.
本研究旨在确定冠心病危险因素在年轻（17 - 35岁）男性军人中的表现程度。约360人接受了身体成分的医学和体格测定、血液胆固醇分析、血压测量、吸烟史调查以及最大运动应激试验，以评估最大摄氧量（VO2 max）和心电图异常的发生率。肥胖（体脂率大于20%）、血液胆固醇升高（大于200 mg/dl）和吸烟（大于10支/天）是最主要的危险因素，发生率分别为29%、32%和36%。只有2.4%的样本运动应激试验呈阳性，表现为ST段压低1mm或更大。VO2 max与体脂百分比之间呈负相关是有氧能力水平与危险因素患病率之间唯一显著的发现。这些数据提供了关于一个此前仅有有限信息的年龄组中心血管疾病危险因素患病率的信息。
