The objective was to update Argentina’s version of the CVDPM. For this purpose, information from the 2010 National Census, the 2013 National Risk Factor Survey, CESCAS I study, and PrEViSTA study were used to update the dynamics of population size, demographics, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor distributions over time. Results of the project are provided in model predictions and national statistics following calibration.
