Abstract

This statement is an update of the 1970 Inter -Society Commission for Heart Disease Resources (ICHD) report, Primary Prevention of the Atherosclerotic Diseases. The charge to the Study Group was to assess relevant new data and, where the evidence is less than definitive, to formulate conclusions and recommendations based on best judgment. Current developments are reviewed, and issues raised in response to the earlier recommendations are considered. Recommendations are intended to serve as a guide for individual behavior, physician practice, and the formulation of public health policy.
