The Paris Cardiovascular Risk Factor Prevention Trial. Effects of two years of intervention in a population of young men.
The Paris Cardiovascular Risk Factor Prevention Trial was design ed to determine whether individualised intervention could induce a reduction in the coronary risk factor levels in young men . Three thous and three hundred and thirty-six men aged 25 to 35 , working in the 160 sections of a large Parisian administration , were examined . The section were r and omly allocated to a control and an intervention group . Advice concerning diet , cigarette smoking , and physical activity was provided repeatedly to the subjects in the intervention group . Two years after the first intervention , the first 1292 subjects who entered the study , whether from the intervention or the control group , were recalled ; 86 % of the intervention group and 84 % of the control group responded . The changes in weight , blood pressure , and cigarette smoking in the intervention group , corrected for changes in the control group , were respectively -0.4 kg ( p = 0.06 ) , -1.4 mm Hg ( p less than 0.05 ) , and -1.2 cigarettes ( p less than 0.01 ) . There was no difference between the two groups in serum cholesterol change . Most of these results concerning young men are in agreement with recently reported results of community intervention programmes in middle-aged men
