Objectives.-To examine the relationship of total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) with coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality and with occurrence of new CHD events in persons aged 71 years and older.Design.-Prospective cohort study with a median of 4.4 years of follow-up.Setting.-East Boston, Mass; New Haven, Conn; and Iowa and Washington counties, Iowa.Participants.-A total of 2527 women and 1377 men who completed an interview, had serum lipid determinations, and survived at least 1 year. New CHD events were evaluated in persons with no CHD history or hospitalization.Main Outcome Measures.-Death due to CHD (ICD-9 codes 410 through 414 as underlying cause of death); new occurrence of CHD events (fatal CHD or hospitalization with CHD [ICD-9 codes 410 through 414]).Results.-After adjustment for established CHD risk factors, the relative risk (RR) of death due to CHD for those with low HDL-C (
