Our synthesis of the available evidence from 10 long-term prospective studies in approximately general populations, involving a total of 2283 cases of non-fatal myocardial infarction or coronary heart disease death and 7143 controls, yielded a combined odds ratio of 1.25 (1.03–1.53) for coronary heart disease in individuals
