Cardiovascular Risk Factors And Intensive Dietary Counselling

June 24, 2014 updated by: Dr. María Ángeles Rubín-Gómez, Andalusian Regional Ministry of Health

Estimation of Cardiovascular Risk After Intensive Dietary Counselling in a Primary Care Setting

The Intensive Dietary Counselling (IDC) intervention is a prevention and health promotion activity. It is being implemented by the Andalusian Health Service to reinforce basic intervention advice on healthy diet and exercise. The IDC intervention is aimed at the prevention of diseases of the heart and blood vessels (e.g. heart failure, heart attack and stroke).

The main objective of the present study is to assess adherence to the IDC intervention and, consequently, its effectiveness on the prevention of the above mentioned diseases.
