(ed./s), pp.568-58501985257379780198525738http://hdl.handle.net/2440/68863This chapter outlines the concepts of life course epidemiology as applied to coronary heart disease (CHD), discusses evidence with regard to early life factors and CHD, and considers the recently debated issue as to whether there is any need to continue searching for additional CHD risk factors above the well-established adulthood factors. It examines how well CHD trends fit with life course approaches and concludes by reviewing some of the remaining important issues in CHD epidemiology from a life course perspective.en(c) Copyright Oxford University Press, 2011.life course epidemiologycardiovascular diseaseCHDearly life factorsBook chapter002010667610.1093/acprof:oso/9780198525738.003.00342-s2.0-8492125884830579Lynch, J.
