The aim of the study is:
* To analyse the extent to which it was possible to induce changes in risk factors in a randomly selected population sample of middle-aged Swedish men by means of a population-based intervention programme which could be managed by a limited number of physicians and paramedical personnel.
* To measure the effect of this intervention programme on the incidence of non-fatal and fatal myocardial infarction, stroke and the total death rate in the intervention group compared with two control groups also randomly selected from the general population.
