title: [Plasma fibrinogen and cardiovascular disease].
abstract: In prospective epidemiological studies the plasma fibrinogen level is correlated to cardiovascular diseases even after statistical correction for the major risk factors. The fibrinogen level is positively correlated with many risk factors such as life-style variables including smoking, lack of physical activity and high-fat diet. Psychosocial variables are in many studies closely correlated with the fibrinogen level even after adjustment for the traditional (established) risk factors.
