Corangamite Risk Factor Survey (Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease - a Rural Perspective)
This second risk factor survey was undertaken in the Corangamite Shire, south west Victoria. The survey aimed to estimate the prevalence of recognised risk factors for cardiovascular disease; to raise community awareness about cardiovascular disease and to provide a comprehensive ‘health screen’ for participating volunteers.
Out of a sample of 1,000 persons aged between 25 and 74 years, a total of 224 females and 189 males participated in comprehensive health checks. Participation rate amongst those invited to join the study was 46% for females and 39% for males.
