Summary

Persons voluntarily attending the Community Center of the Atahualpa Project during one calendar year will be evaluated by trained personnel to check their cardiovascular health status. A chart with information of healthy behaviors as well as the numbers of the person's blood pressure, fasting glucose, and total cholesterol levels will be given. Persons who sign the informed consent will be visited at their homes after 3 months and than every year up to five years.
