1984年，一项前瞻性队列研究，年轻人冠状动脉风险发展（CARDIA）开始调查生活方式和其他因素对年轻人冠心病危险因素演变的影响。经过一年的规划和协议的发展，5116黑人和白色妇女和男子，年龄18-30岁，被招募和检查在四个城市地区：伯明翰，亚拉巴马;芝加哥，伊利诺伊州;明尼阿波利斯，明尼苏达州和奥克兰，加州。最初的检查包括对主要危险因素的仔细标准化评估，以及对可能影响这些因素或可能是独立危险因素的心理社会、饮食和运动相关特征的评估。本报告介绍了招募和检查方法以及血压、血浆总胆固醇、身高、体重和体重指数的平均水平，以及按年龄、性别、种族和教育水平划分的吸烟率。与最近的国家样本相比，吸烟在CARDIA参与者中不太普遍，体重往往更大。胆固醇水平是有代表性的，心脏病患者血压较低可能至少部分是由于测量方法的差异。特别值得注意的是，在按人口统计学亚组划分的风险因素水平的几个差异中，黑人妇女的体重指数高于白色妇女，高中以下教育程度的人吸烟率高于教育程度较高的人。
In 1984, a prospective cohort study, Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) was initiated to investigate life-style and otehr factors that influence, favorably and unfavorably, the volution of coronary heart disease risk factors during young adulthood. After a year of planning and protocol development, 5116 black and white women and men, age 18-30 years, were recruited and examined in four urban areas: Birmingham, Alabama; Chicago, Illinois; Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Oakland, California. The initial examination incuded carefully standardized meadurements of major risk factors as well as assessments of psychosocial, dietary, and exercise-related characteristics that might influence them, or that might be independent risk factors. This report presentes the recruitment and examination methods as well as the mean levels of blood pressure, total plasma cholesterol, height, weight an body mass index, and the prevalence of cigarette smoking by age, sex, race and educational level. Compared to recent national samples, smoking is less prevalent in CARDIA participants, and weight tends to be greater. Cholesterol levels are representative and somewhate lower blood pressures in CARDIA are probably, at least in part, due to differences in measurement methods. Especially noteworthy among several differences in risk factor levels by demographic subgroup, were higher body mass index among black than white women and much higher prevalence of cigarette smoking among persons with no more than a high school education than among those with more education.
