Multiple risk factor intervention in cardiovascular disease
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Medicine
|August 1, 1984
Abstract:
This paper describes multiple risk factor intervention, its rationale and the form it takes, referring to recent intervention trials and the issues arising from their approaches and outcomes. Some questions relevant to intervention are raised and some guesses made as to future directions and opportunities.
Insights
This study reviews multiple risk factor interventions, examining their rationale, implementation, and outcomes from recent trials. It discusses challenges and future opportunities in this field.
Area of Science:
