Over 10,000 Oklahomans die each year from coronary artery disease or stroke. This study examined the behavioral risk factors for these illnesses present in Oklahomans. Oklahomans are at considerably higher risk than the desirable national goals for such risk factors. For example, too many Oklahomans smoke and too few exercise. The data to support these findings are included herein, and some steps to reverse these trends are recommended.
