During this phase, the study aims to determine what factors, primary and secondary, contribute to the onset of certain illnesses.

The survey consists of a long series of interviews of selected families in the city of Pastorita, covering aspects of diet, physical activity, alcohol consumption and other personal details; and includes blood tests, and measuring weight, height and blood pressure.

The project is taking place with the support of the Provincial Health Authority and the National Department of Statistics. The overall objective is to help raise awareness about prevention measures and to foster a change in unhealthy diets and sedentary habits.
