From HSPH this Monday A prospective study of 42,847 middle-aged and older U.S. men participating in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study has found that a healthy lifestyle is associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), even among men taking antihypertensive or lipid-lowering medications. The research, which is the first to look at the role of a healthy lifestyle and CHD in men in this age group, is published in the July 3, 2006, online edition of Circulation.
One mroe study that puts reponsiblity for health on the individual's shoulders. Insurance companies need to place a dividend on healthy lifestyles, just like they do on use of seat belts.
