TI  - Counseling on cardiovascular behavioral risk factors within the healthcare 
      system: the CroHort study.
PG  - 251-5
AB  - Eliminating four behavioral risk factors (tobacco use, physical inactivity, 
      unhealthy diet and harmful use of alcohol) could contribute to a decrease of up 
      to 80% in burden of non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. 
      Primary healthcare providers have a unique position within the healthcare system, 
      which allows them to actively contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular 
      behavioral risk factors (CVBRFs) by providing individual counseling. The aim of 
      this article is to show the change in frequency and the effects of counseling on 
      CVBRFs by healthcare providers between two periods: up until 2003 and between 
      2003 and 2008. Results, obtained within the CroHort study, show a low frequency 
      and undesired effects of counseling within the healthcare system in both studied 
      periods. This points to a lack of consistency with which the healthcare system 
      tackles prevention of behavioral risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
