Topic: Risk factors and risk prediction
Purpose: A periodic Health Examination Survey (HES)-Osservatorio Epidemiologico Cardiovascolare (OEC) has been implemented in Italy. the aim of this analysis is to present initial results for 2008–09 and compare them with those collected in 1998, the previous HES.
Methods: Randomized population samples stratified by age and sex were examined (participation rate 63%). Risk factor data were collected using MONICA Project standardized methodologies; biochemical levels were assayed in a central laboratory. In 1998, about 10,000 men and women ages 35–74 years were enrolled throughout the country (200 persons from each 1,5 million of resident population). the new screening is enrolling the same sample size, age range 35–79 years. All data are age-standardized using the European standard population.
