This document provides a codebook for a case-control study examining the relationship between low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and cardiac events. The study uses data from a population-based cohort study of Caucasian men and women, focusing on a subset of cases where individuals experienced a cardiac event and controls where they did not. The codebook defines the variables that will be analyzed, including age, glucose levels, cholesterol levels, height, gender, smoking status, and weight.

For this series of assignments you will be examining data from a study of
Caucasian men and women. This study was a population-based cohort study
tracking the relationship between a variety of risk factors and the incidence of
cardiovascular events and mortality, but we have decided to examine a subset of
the data as a case-control study. You will be examining the relationship between
LDL cholesterol at baseline and the incidence of cardiac events.
