Kahn, Harold, MS 	(1920-2009)

Harold Kahn was an early figure in epidemiological analysis and a leader in design of cohort studies. In the 1960s, he joined the National Heart Institute where he became statistician for the Framingham Heart Study and developed the “Framingham Method” which assessed risk of disease using a pooled, repeated-measures model still used today.

He played a principal role in studies of the diet-heart hypothesis and in several central prospective studies such as the Puerto Rico Heart Health Study, the Yugoslavia Cardiovascular Heart Disease Study, and the Israel Ischemic Heart Disease Study.
