title: [Incidental screening--a rational basis for integrated prevention of cardiovascular diseases].
abstract: This study at the Lyckeby Primary Health Center, Sweden, demonstrates the feasibility of extended incidental cardiovascular risk-factor screening and intervention. The results indicate that a substantial proportion of the population at risk is detected. After one year 1,008 patients, of a total population of about 7,000 aged between 25 and 59 years, have been screened. Individual advice on non-drug therapies and regular follow-up by a nurse was offered to 41 per cent of these individuals, due to findings of raised blood pressure and/or serum cholesterol.
