ClinConnect Summary
The North Kynouria Project is a research study focused on understanding the risk factors for heart and stroke-related diseases in adults living in North Kynouria, Greece. The goal is to look at both the things that can be changed (like diet and exercise) and the things that cannot be changed (like age and family history) to see how they affect conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. By conducting mass screenings and monitoring participants over time, the study aims to gather important information that could help improve health in the community.
To participate, you need to be a resident of North Kynouria and between the ages of 65 to 74 or 35 to 54. Unfortunately, individuals under 18 or pregnant women cannot join the study. If you decide to participate, you can expect regular check-ups and assessments that will help researchers better understand your heart health and the factors that contribute to these diseases. This research is crucial as it may lead to better prevention and treatment strategies for cardiovascular issues in the future.
