High mortality from CVD in Finland led to the start of the North Karelia Project. Sincethen, a vast amount of scientific literature has accumulated to present results and discuss experience. The resultsindicate that heart health programmes have a high degree of generalizability, are cost-effective and can influencehealth policy. In the 1980s the focus of programmes expanded from CVD to noncommunicable diseases (NCD),mainly because of the common risk factors. Attention has now turned to promoting this approach in developingcountries, where the prevalence of NCD is growing.
