title: [Studies on cardiovascular prevention focusing on nutritional interventions: quantitative and qualitative research].
abstract: Dietetic education is today considered one of the key elements of preventive and therapeutic strategies in cardiovascular medicine. The combination of quantitative and qualitative research permits the linking of the effectiveness and efficiency of the interventions targeted to cardiovascular prevention, placing at the centre of the clinical scenario the individual subject and giving due attention to his/her global health status and quality of life.
