With the use of the National Death Index and cooperation of professional organizations, mortality follow-up is virtually complete. In the past five years, 24 papers (published or in press) were produced in the field of cardiovascular disease and related conditions, addressing such risk factors as obesity, smoking, and vitamin E, carotene, fish, fiber, and fat intake. The authors plan to continue following the cohort by questionnaires mailed at two-year intervals to update exposure information and ascertain nonfatal events.

Coronary heart disease occurs when the walls of coronary arteries that carry blood to the heart are clogged with fatty deposits. A primary treatment for coronary heart disease is the coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). During a CABG, a detour is inserted around blocked portions of coronary arteries using segments of healthy vessels from other parts of the patient's body. For most patients, the internal condition of the affected coronary arteries is difficult to assess visually or by palpation.
