World Health Organization Multinational MONItoring of Trends and Determinants in CArdiovascular Disease: Italy Friuli (WHO MONICA ITA–FRI)
The WHO MONICA initiative was aimed at understanding cardiovascular disease trends and their determinants. The Friuli cohort of the WHO MONICA included over 1,400 participants from three provinces of north-east Italy (Friuli-Venezia-Giulia), recruited via a local health registry. Participants were aged 25 to 64 years old, including 722 men and 737 women. This sample was surveyed in 1986, 1989 and 1994 and coronary and stroke-event registration was recorded from 1984–1993. The cohort was also followed up as part of the MORGAM and CUORE projects via health registry linkage until 1998.
