We evaluated cerebrovascular risk factors and the values of cholesterol and triglicerides in the survey in Muro d'Alcoi using a door-to-door randomised interview. We found 14.9% hypertensives, 5.5% persons with diabetes, 1.2% with heart diseases and 42.1 persons with tabaccoism into the 646 persons evaluated. The Serum Cholesterol levels were high and we observed that 62% of males and 63.8% of females had values higher than 200 mg/dl. Our study showed that 24.8% of males and 12% of females presented values of triglicerides higher than 150 mg/dl. The data of risk factors were comparable with the findings described in Beniarres, Lorcha and Planes, located in the same healthy area.
