The present work is a study of the evolution of atherosclerotic risk factors in the course of ten years, in a group of 5,000 male subjects, aged 40 to 60 years, from an urban district, undergoing a programme of primary prevention against ischemic heart diseases. The general intervention methodology and the results after five years follow-up were published in earlier papers.
