[Strategies for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases in the German Federal Republic].
The increased relevance of cardiovascular prevention for improved population health is mainly a result of recent epidemiologic research. The identification of essential risk factors of the arterio-sclerotic process as well as their interventive modification are generally accepted. The prolongation of the life-expectancy has been achieved more and more by preventive successes in higher age. Participation of the individual and cooperation of institutions are essential prerequisites of the necessary life style change. The German health offices have to be prepared for essential functions in health management.
