TAIVAN. UMNEY. JACEY. AND HEYDER
In this paper. we bave examined the relationship in 1017 submariners of several
hemtatoloW~. biochemical, and physigi vanables that have significance for the prognosis.
pevvention. or treatment of disease of apng, with particular reference to factors associated
with a rskof coronary hen disease.
Though the study was dened to evaluate the effects of submanne duty through a series of
re-exammations of the indiviul subjects. this report is concerned with comparisons of the
data obtained at the initial examinations of the subjects. We present evidence that there is a
measurable risk 01 cariovascul., disease rmiaed to length of submarin duty in addition to the
risk attributable to icreasing age. Several factors. including coffee and alcohol consumption
and ctgaret smoking. appear to contribute to this risk.
METHODS &%D MATERIALS
The gmup of 1017 active-duty submariners participating in this study and the extensive
series of medical and laboratory, eumanations, perforned on these subjects were described
previously (Sawyer with Baker 19r.. Tansey 1974. Tappan et al. 1975, 19M9. The examination
program was iitiated to provide backgroud data on the health staws of Mhe geeral ribiirerpopulation and to provide preliminary indications of the effects of livmng withim the
closed environments of modern submarines, Of the subjects voluneering for the 00ud. 64 W%
were members of the crews of 23 operational submarines, the other ubjects came bo. nam
short-based rotation awsstments. All were qualified submariners. Li 7W were enhesed personnet and 14.3% were officers. For our comparative studies, data perthnent to cornay heun
disease tCHD) and related risks ware obtained ftm the medical and smhrupom potins,
of the two-day serie of tests lpven to each subject and from the biochemical and heasololc
segmets of this multiphauic study. The data for time on nuclear patrol were avedable I r-1)
from the health records of the men since it is hmnndatory that record he kept at Maie of
potential exposure to radiation aboard muclenr submarnes

the inca- risk of cardiovascular disease associated with smokin disappears raply with
tome after smoking is stopped, the risk does not disappear compltely for at least a decadet.
Though we named residual elbcis similar to smoking slbta-t for alcohol and -Ne consumption, we found concurrin results when carryover was not included insthe data. To

differences in the calipers used. Results for a similar population indicated 16.5 -6. 2' body

1974). A survey also showed 14 3.14.6.15.). 15.5. and 18.7% fat for civilian males. 23.1%~ for
an Air Forve population, and 12 5, 17.4. and V0 5'* in Army personnel, all forages in the range

The ponderal index establishes a leanness-stockiness scale and is considered by some
investigators to be the singlle best measure of body build (Meyer 1973; Stoudt el al. 1973). The
mean index value for men of the United States in 1960- 3962 was 12.40. ra.tq from 12.67 for
men Ill-24 years to 12.32 for 35-44 yeams (Staudt el al. 1973). In the present study the mean of
12.6 2 0.6 indicated no remarkable difference, according to this criterion. between submariners and other American men. Since the values for this index fall within a very narrow rage.
the mean value of 12.73 2 0.63 found for U.-S.- Army men (Staudt et al. 3973) may indicate a
slightly pster degree of leanness in Army subjects compared to submariners. (Note that the
index increases as relative fatness decrease.)
To consider the contributions of the various factors to the risk 01 cardiovascular disease an
assumption was mae concerning the applicability of the analysis of risk to our subjects
according to the multivariate logistic procedure. The orignal model of Truett et al. (1967).
based on data for seven parameters measured for the subjects 01 the Framingham study, was
later modified by Cornfield and Mitchell (3969) to include only five variables.- The procedure
was further refined by Halperin et al. (1971). who used a maximum likelihood method for
arriving at parameter constants and again used seven variables to define risk. The generality of
the latter approach was verified by Brand. Rosenman. Scholti. and Friedman (1976) for
application to cardiovascular disease incidence data collected over Sit years in dhe Western
Collaborative Group Study In that study, correlation coefficients of0012-0.19 were found
betueen predicted and actual occurrence 01 cardiovascular disease. Though high correlations
ir w 0,9411 were obtained for our data between the five-variable and the seven-variable
analyses, the maximumi likelihood constants of Halperin et al. (1971 I were used to obtain the
nisk estiates reported here because of the confirmation (Brand et al.- 19761 of the validity of
this approach. The 'alue of the procedure used here was emphasized by Gordon and Kennel
119711 and by Kennel 1197,6 who considered this the method that practicing physicians shoul
use to evaluate risk levels in their patients realistically.
One rather profound alteration in the design of the mutivarsate analysis of risk was required
to accommodate part of the data front our study. Since the risk of cardiovascular incident was
collected fro the Framinomn subjects for population Voups agled 30-39.40-49. and older.
it was necessy to use the values for the lowest age group (30-39) to evaluate our subjects
aged 19- 30 and 30- 39. The equation coefficients for ales 40-49 were used for calculations
made for subjects over 40. Since the mean age for the subjects was 29.4 year. an overappeoximaition of risk seems to have been made for about half of the subject. When calculationswr

The strong, correlations of the risk factors with age, however. suses the imnportance of
examining correlations that have been corrected for age (Siiwecor and Cochran 19C7). With a
few, notabl exceptions, such data, presented in the last three columns of Table 2. indicate that
the risk factors have the highest correlatioris with total militar) service time. Submerged patrol
tame had the lowest correlations, with relationship to submiarine time generally intermediate.
The exceptions to these generalizationsneed special consideration.
Particularly prominent among the age-correctedl correlations of the risk factors is the apparenty Significant (P < 0-051 correlation of cholesterol level with time sice qualification for

dependence on cholesterol level, also seems to correlste most highly with length of submarine

duty and ashore *recovcry' periods or the unique workrest schedules on patrol, arid the
specific diet and activity patterns. may be shown to a, S P t these effects sauiflcandly.
Despite the sonificant correlatons of serum cholesterol levels and risk against submn
time demonstrated hbae and in our other paper (this Supplemienti (Tappan et a&.19IM. we wish
to sound a note of cautio in interpreting the data because of the method used to choose
subects for the study (Sawyer with Baker 1972; Tansey 1974). Although the subjects included
submariners of various s. lengths of service. and occupational specialties, it was so
proved that these men represent an unbiased cross-secton of submarine service peron.
A split-samiple correlation analysis performed as a check on the sipilcuue of the incrent

From a nationial survey in~.olving 29.000 Mood donors living in urban. suburbian. and rural
communities of the United States, a strong correlation has been reported bertween blood levels
of catoyhemoglobin and total blood hemoglobin concentrationst Tobacco smoking was the

Bridge%. Kraal. Huang. and Chancellor 197"b It should also be noted that each of the seum
proteins measured correlated negatinely with the extent of cigarette smoking In addition to its
close relationiship to cholesterol level, total risk also correlated highl in the submariners with
,.arious chemical components of the serum, including inorganic phosphate, urea nitrogen. uric
acid, and alkaline phosphatase
Among other relationships show&n in Table I that should be considered ame the sigificant
correlaions of blood presure, pulse rate. cholesterol, and relative weight with hemoglobin
aid hematocni levels These correlations add confirmatory evidence that justifies the inclu%ionof hemoglobin in the calculation of CHD risk fTruelt ei al 1967. Halperin et al. 1971).

vtud . to our know ledge, was diabetic, a measuii'l prediabetic symptomnatology was detected in the data iTappan et al 19179. this Supplement).
In most cases where risk was apparetly associated with serum chemistry variables, i.e..
with inorganic phosphate. urea nitrogen, uric acid, or alkaline phosphatase. the cholesterol
level appeared to be the most closely related of the established risk fators. At this point.
however, there s%
no reason to think that changes in cholesterol level arm responsible for the

as is true for the population an general (tidam 1969; Kannel and Dawber 1972).
The above correlations and those shown in Table 4 wmnest that total alcohol consumption is
somewhat less closely associated with factort directly of indirectly related to CHD risk than is
total coffee consumption. Because of alcohol's potential for damage to the liver and other
orgas however. it is expected that alcottol intake will be at least weakly associated with
serum levels of SGOT and LDH uI).mm and King 1965, bieber 19751 and possibly with
erythroc~yte counts and serum protein levels
Despite a significant association between coffee consumption andl CHD risk, the relationship beWeen the two %anablsappears to be complex. Although faiting and postprandial

exhibit negative correlations with coffee intake, these factors generally correlate positively
with total risk levels.
It appears possible that two different physsoocal effects of coffee consumption may be
reflected hy the data, First, the diuretic effect of large amounts of the beverage may exert at
least a small influence on various serum components because of increae excretion rates.
Second. the stimulant Mfect on the central nr o'us and cardiovascular s)ystems of the alkaloid
components of coffee is probably even more intimately associated with CHO ris in these
