We do, and it's called the Framingham heart study.
It's a landmark, decades long (began in 1948) research study that revolutionized health guidelines and what factors in death and heart disease.
- carbocation 9y agoSure, the Framingham Heart Study is one of the most famous long-lasting observational studies, now on its 3rd generation of participants. But, for one, it's an observational study, not an interventional study. Two, it's in Framingham, a white-predominant Boston suburb. Three, what actionable health advice do you understand from the Framingham that I haven't summarized above? I would be delighted to learn that there is a trove of actionable, research-backed information about healthy living that we aren't taught in medical school, residency, or cardiology fellowship. My patients would benefit if I could provide them with this information. I don't think it exists, but if it does, who can point me to it?
