The Danish study included 27,178 men and 29,875 women volunteers who were free of coronary heart disease at the start of the study.

They seem to be conflating "having heart disease" and "having a heart disease event". The article didn't give the ages, except to say that only 17% of the women were premenopausal.

Assuming that both men and women were at least approaching middle age, it just isn't credible that they started the study having no heart disease. They might have had no heart disease events, an altogether different matter.

Seems like junk.

Do you want to do coronary artery biopsies, or will stress tests suffice? Here's the article.
