Optimal Levels of All Major Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Younger Age and Functional Disability in Older Age: The Chicago Heart Association Detection Project in Industry (CHA) 32-Year Follow-up Health Survey

However, little is known about associations of low-risk profiles in younger age with functional disability in older age.
