Risk factors influenced by both nutrition and genetic polymorphisms will be studied in 3 European communities by general practitioner's networks. Firstly, 270 Be/Be couples in Belgium will be compared with 270 age- and sex-matched It/It couples in Italy and 270 UK/UK couples in U.K. Migration of Italians to Belgium will be used as a model of interaction between nutrition and genetics, to explain differences in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk across Europe. For this purpose, 270 mixed couples, formed in Belgium by a It/Be marriage, with the same range of age of the It/It, Be/Be and UK/UK couples, will be recruited. Members of the mixed couples will be compared between them and with It and Be couples. A new Multilanguage food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) will be developed to evaluate dietary factors and analysed with an adapted program, using integrated tables of food composition.
