Abstract
In a community-based cohort of men of the same age (available at www.pubcare.uu.se/ULSAM) (4), we investigated four baseline samples: two defined at age 50 years (the whole cohort [n = 2,322] and a primary preventive sample [n = 2,198], excluding people with a myocardial infarction, stroke, or diabetes at or before baseline) and two at a reexamination at age 70 years (the whole cohort [n = 1,221] and the primary preventive sample [n = 872]), as the impact of the metabolic syndrome may vary with age and risk level (4). Informed consent was obtained, and the Uppsala University Ethics Committee approved the study.Keywords
