To establish the impact of sport activity on<br />

the risk of sudden death: From 1979 to<br />

1999, there were 300 SCDs in adolescents<br />

<strong>and</strong> young adults (12 to 35 years old),<br />

producing an overall cohort incidence rate<br />

of one per 100 000 persons per year.<br />

55 SCDs among athletes (2.3 per 100 000<br />

per year) <strong>and</strong> 245 among non-athletes (0.9<br />

per 100 000 per year), with an estimated<br />

relative risk (RR) of sudden death from all<br />

causes of 2.5.
