began with the planning and implementation of the Lipid
Research Clinics (LRC) Prevalence Studies in Moscow and
Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). The first Prevalence
Study focused on men aged 40-59 randomly selected from
residential districts in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The
study began by screening 7,815 men in 1972 and was
completed in December, 1977. It was followed in 1978 by
the Second Prevalence Study which screened men and women
aged 20-69. This screening for more than 5,000
participants was completed in 1982. Currently, men in the
First Prevalence Study and women in the Second Prevalence
Study are being followed annually in a mortality
follow-up study. |
