Summary

This study follows over 5,000 Black and White men and women from age 18-30 for many years to see how their lifestyles and health habits affect their risk of heart disease later in life. Researchers measure things like blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol to understand why some people develop heart problems and others do not. The goal is to learn how to prevent heart disease by identifying early risk factors.
