P36 Objective: To investigate the association between white blood  cell (WBC) count and incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) and  ischemic stroke, and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD) in  African-American and White men and women. Methods: We followed 13,555  African-American and white men and women, ages 45 to 64 years, who had  a WBC count assessed at baseline. There were 488 incident CHD events,  220 incident strokes, and 258 deaths from CVD during an average of 8  years of follow-up. Results: After adjustment for age, sex, and ARIC  field center, there was a direct association between WBC count and  incidence of CHD (P &lt;0.001 for trend) and stroke (P for trend  &lt;0.001), and mortality from CVD (P for trend &lt;0.001) in African  Americans. This association remained but was attenuated after further  adjustment for multiple risk factors. The African Americans in the  highest quartile of WBC count (≥7,000 cells/mm 3 ) had 1.9  times the risk of incident CHD (95% CI, 1.19, 3.09, P = 0.008),  1.9 times the risk of incident ischemic stroke (95% CI, 1.03, 3.34,  P = 0.04), and 2.3 times the risk of CVD mortality (95% CI, 1.38,  3.72, P = 0.001) than did their counterparts in the lowest  quartile of WBC count (&lt;4,800 cells/mm 3 ). These  associations were similar in whites and in never-smokers. Conclusions:  An elevated WBC count is directly associated with increased incidence  of CHD and ischemic stroke, and mortality from CVD in African-American  and White men and women.
