Abstract:

Which events occurring in early or middle ages of life are significant in terms of influencing (for example, increasing the probability of) possible consequences such as coronary heart disease in later decades? Using the Framingham Heart Study, we investigate this and related questions using covariate-based survival methods. We compare our results with those of Peeters, Mamum, Willekens and Bonneuz (2002).
