摘要：

Sullivan1,2 hypothesized that iron overload is a major cause of the greater occurrence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in men than in women. Salonen et al3 showed that increased serum ferritin levels were associated with an excess risk of acute myocardial infarction in middle-aged Eastern Finnish men. Therefore, we performed a study to correlate serum ferritin levels with the prevalence of CAD in elderly men and women. © 1993.
