This study examines possible risk factors of heart disease in terms of incidence of heart problems among the elderly. The study contains the data from the Assets and Health Dynamics of the Oldest Old (AHEAD) dataset, which is a nationally representative sample within subgroups of the U.S. noninstitutionalized population who is age 70 and over. Heart disease risk factors were examined in both bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses in a two-year longitudinal setting. Results from bivariate analyses showed the significance of hypertension (P<0.05), diabetes (P<0.001), alcohol consumption (P<0.05), physical performance (P<0.01) as a risk factor of the incidence of heart disease. On the other hand, parsimonious and full models of multivariate logistic regression analyses showed somewhat different effects of independent risk of diabetes, body mass index (BMI), and physical performance on heart disease incidence. Limitations of study and implications from results are discussed.
