Methods: A cohort study of 352 non-diabetic hypertensive patients, without associated cardiovascular disease, randomly selected from 1,780 hypertensive patients attended in a primary care center.
Background: Disease prevention and health promotion are important tasks in the daily practice of all general practitioners (GPs).
