About

The purpose of this study is to assess the distribution, awareness and control of main cardiovascular risk factors in the Spanish population. The main study variables are:

• Lifestyles (tobacco, alcohol, nutrition, physical activity)
• Biological risk factors either well-established (blood lipids, glucose, insulin and blood pressure) or emergent (leptin, C-reactive protein and other markers of inflammation)

Full description

Data collection comprised 3 sequential stages:

1. computer-assisted telephone interview to obtain information on lifestyle, knowledge and attitudes about cardiovascular disease risk factors, and the signs and symptoms of heart attack and stroke, subjective health, and morbidity;
2. first homevisit, to collect blood and urine samples for analysis by a central laboratory;
3. second home visit, to measure anthropometric variables and blood pressure and to administer a computer-assisted dietary history; data on functional limitations are also collected from participants aged 65 years and older.
