Abstract

Three independent cross-sectional surveys were carried out in 1984/1985, 1989/1990, and 1994/1995 to estimate the prevalence and distribution of cardiovascular risk factors among men and women in the Monitoring Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular Disease (MONICA) study (3), which was conducted in the Augsburg region. From 1999 to 2001, the Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg (KORA) Survey 2000 was conducted in the same study region and with the same design as in the previous surveys. The age range was restricted to individuals aged 25–64 years in the first survey and 25–74 years in the other three surveys.
