Since the 1980s, as part of the CUORE Project, population surveys
have been periodically conducted, collecting, also through direct
measurements (according to standardized procedures and methodologies),
and analyzing data related to distribution of risk factors, frequency
of risk conditions, lifestyles and prevalence of cardiovascular
diseases.
The adult population surveys conducted over the years are:
-
ITA-HES – Italian Health Examination Survey - Progetto CUORE
- HES -
Health Examination Survey (Italy, 2018-2019): main health
indicators can be accessed through the online platform

National Prevention Plan;

the "Less salt more health" program;
- CARHES - cardiovascular risk in renal patients of the Italian
health examination survey;
- MINISAL-GIRCSI - Good Practices on Nutrition: Evaluation of
the content of sodium, potassium and iodine in the italian diet;
- The CUORE Project - Individual risk assessment, of structures
and prognostic-therapeutic pathways for cardiovascular diseases;

- Epidemiology and Prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
Several cooperation agreements have been established at national
and international level:
