Prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in Lithuanian middle-aged subjects participating in the primary prevention program, analysis of the period 2009-2012.

abstract：:Several lines of evidence show that metabolic syndrome represents an important therapeutic challenge for the forthcoming years. This is because of the epidemic burden of this multifaceted disease, the adverse impact on cardiovascular risk, as well as the problems posed in its management. This paper will provide an up-...
