Abstract

In a study, the utility of a school-based, family history questionnaire to identify adolescents with adverse coronary risk factors was assessed. The results indicate that a prenatal history of coronary heart diease (CHD) as well as a grandfather history of high cholesterol or CHD enriches the identification of children with adverse coronary risk factor levels.
