Results from an intervention programme dealing with cardiovascular risk factors. Experiences from a study of men aged 33-42 in Habo, Sweden.
Sammanfattning
A health examination was carried out with the purpose of improving cardiovascular risk factors. A health profile was created as an educational tool, by means of which a nurse discussed the results of the health examination with the participants. Follow-up studies were carried out after 1 year and after 3-6 years. Even if the results are rather promising in the short run, it seems urgent to make the methods for improving cardiovascular risk factors better, especially with regard to long-term results.
