YOU ARE A VALUABLE PART OF SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS

You have been part of CESCAS for some time now. This scientific study is very important for South America.

Today CESCAS healthcare practitioners want to thank you because your collaboration and commitment promote scientific progress in South America.

This is a pioneering initiative. For the first time, the information received from participants like yourself (through interviews and clinical exams) will allow scientists to prepare statistics and to access data to prevent heart disease (e.g. infarction and stroke), chronic lung disease, and diabetes. CESCAS will also allow us to understand other conditions and behaviors that increase the risk for heart disease (smoking, bad cholesterol, hypertension, obesity, etc.).

All this information will help decision makers make better decisions for future generations to live long and healthy lives.

We are immensely proud of our collaborators and we appreciate your help. THANK YOU for being part of scientific progress!

What is the next step? We will continue our work. This year our team of professionals will contact you for another interview. The idea is to follow up your health on a regular basis to expand our knowledge about the health of the general population.
