The scientific background of the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT) was the extensive set of data from all branches of medical research (clinical and pathologic investigation, epidemiology, animal experimentation) demonstrating a relationship between life-styles (particularly eating and smoking habits), life-style-related risk factors, and the occurrence of epidemic premature coronary heart disease (CHD) in Western industrialized countries. As repeatedly noted, these data indicate the possibility of CHD prevention by improving life-styles and controlling established major risk factors. Table 1 presents representative epidemiologic data on the impact on risk of first major events of coronary heart disease of the three major established risk factors, serum cholesterol, blood pressure, and cigarette use [1].
