A mobile bus screened over 20,000 Scots for cardiovascular risk factors. This project assessed risk incidence and offered counseling to modify factors in the working population.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Cardiovascular Health

Background:

  • Cardiovascular disease poses a significant public health challenge.
  • Early identification and modification of risk factors are crucial for prevention.
  • A mobile unit was needed to reach the working population across Scotland.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the incidence of cardiovascular risk factors in a healthy working population.
  • To modify identified cardiovascular risk factors through individual counseling.
  • To establish a model for mobile, multicenter health screening projects.

Main Methods:

  • Conversion of a double-decker bus into a mobile screening unit.
  • Deployment throughout Scotland over three and a half years.
