The Vascular Risk Study in Navarra (RIVANA). Applications in clinical practice

The main cardiovascular risk factors identified in this study were smoking, overweight/obesity, hypertension and hyperglycaemia. Measures with regard to their management are proposed. Cardiovascular risk in the Navarre population is sensitively lower than the Frammingham cohort. The calibrated tables for Frammingham- Navarre are described. They will be validated in the future
