Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The heart study conducted in Framingham, Massachusetts led to increased awareness about the importance of preventing cardiovascular disease through lifestyle factors such as quitting smoking, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. As a result, cigarette smoking rates have decreased and there is greater monitoring of blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol. There is no evidence to suggest that childhood obesity rates have soared or that cancer risk has decreased dramatically. While it is possible that more parents are monitoring their children's use of harmful substances, this is not directly related to the findings of the heart study.
