Description

The MONICA study is a WHO supported international multicenter study of risk factors for cardiovascular disease (Multinational MONItoring of trends and determinants in CArdiovascular disease), involving 38 populations in 21 different countries on four continents.
The study started in the beginning of the 1980s. The background was that younger persons have low risk factor levels (overweight, high blood pressure, high serum cholesterol), but the levels are increasing in higher ages. Several mechanisms are probably reasons for this. In Gothenburg a total of 4500 men and women were examined within the MONICA project in the ages 25-65. The surveys took place in 1985, 1990 and 1995.

Purpose:

To measure the trends in cardiovascular mortality and coronary heart disease and stroke morbidity and to assess the extent to which these trends are related to changes in known risk factors, daily living habits, health care, or major socioeconomic features measured at the same time in defined communities in different countries.
