Publications published between 1995 and 2022 were considered. The review included the National Recommendations in force for 2023, as well as the results of cohort and multicenter studies, the purpose of which was to assess the impact of current recommendations on the development of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, associated clinical conditions (myocardial infarction, stroke, etc.), as well as the impact on general mortality.
