"It wasn't the intent of the study to look at cardiovascular events," he said.
For this same group, severe cardiovascular events were observed with a rate of about 1 in 1500.
Several studies have shown that such markers predict future cardiovascular events.
Of the 65,508 participants, 7 percent had a cardiovascular event.
One of the three studies even reports a drop in cardiovascular events among certain milk consumers.
And then 10 years later, they will have their first cardiovascular event.
A cardiovascular event (such as a heart attack) was reported in ten percent of the total known cases.
The number needed to treat to prevent one cardiovascular event would then be 99.7 for 3.3 years.
And about 1 in 5 reported that they'd already had a cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or stroke.
This study found no significant differences in the rates of cardiovascular events by drug.
