Wimmera Risk Factor Survey (Greater Green Triangle Cardiovascular Risk Factor Study Wimmera Sub Study)
The final of three risk factor surveys undertaken by the GGT UDRH estimated the prevalence of recognised risk factors for cardiovascular disease in the population in the Wimmera region, north west Victoria. The study also raised community awareness about cardiovascular disease and provided comprehensive ‘health screening’ for participants.
The survey randomly sampled approximately 1,200 people aged 25-74 years, with an additional sample of 300 persons aged between 75 and 84 years. The survey provided valuable information about the health of people living in this region and about the prevalence of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
