The dataset contains information on 45 individuals, including their age, sex,

cholesterol levels, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and whether or not they
have had a coronary heart disease (CHD) event. The variables in the dataset are:

 AGEO: age in years

 SEX: gender of the individual (male or female)
 CO: a categorical variable representing the number of cigarettes smoked per day
(coded as 0, 1-9, 10-19, 20-29, or 30+)
 TOTCHOL: total cholesterol level in mg/dL
 SYSTOL: systolic blood pressure in mmHg
 EVENT: whether or not the individual has had a coronary heart disease (CHD) event
(coded as "none" or "CHD")
 BMI: body mass index, calculated as weight (in kg) divided by height (in meters)
squared
 HDL: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level in mg/dL (often referred to as "good"
cholesterol)

The dataset can be used to investigate the relationship between various risk factors
and the likelihood of having a CHD event.

As a general guide, total cholesterol levels should be: 5mmol/L or less for healthy adults.
4mmol/L or less for those at high risk.
