In 2006, the participants were contacted in order to be examined by trained personnel, in regard to the development of CVD.

The investigators of the ATTICA study (i.e., physicians, nurses, nutritionists) also performed a detailed evaluation of the participants' medical records. For the participants who died during the follow-up, the information was gathered from their relatives as well as certified vital records.
