title: [Screening for cardiovascular risk factors in public screening programs: are target groups being reached?].
abstract: In 1990 the public health department of Frankfurt organised the third "Frankfurter Gesundheitstage". 1875 persons took part in the voluntary public screening programme for cardiovascular risk factors. Mean age of the persons tested was 60 years. 13% of them smoked, 16% were obese. In 19% elevated blood pressure, and in 85% hypercholesterolemia (greater than 200 mg/dl) was observed (46% greater than 250 mg/dl). Hypercholesterolemia and hypertension was not known before to 444, resp. 88 persons. "Persons at risk" for cardiovascular disease can be reached by such a screening programme.
