Abstract

For preventing CHD, the risk factors have to be beneficially modified by interventions in order to decrease future prevalence of CHD. Behaviours that increase the risk of developing CHD are a lack of physical activity and an unhealthy diet. This thesis presents the results of the so-called MARGARIN project, an acronym of 'Mediterranean Alpha-linolenic en Riched Groningen dietARy INtervention project'. zie: summary
