Abstract
Elevated WBC count and triglyceride level were associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality among older Australians. These data provide new epidemiological evidence regarding cardiovascular risk stratification using simple, inexpensive, and routinely available measures, suggesting that a combined exposure to both high WBC count and triglyceride level is related to more than three-fold risk of cardiovascular mortality, independent of traditional risk factors.
