Personalised cardiovascular risk information, including genetic risk scores, may help people to implement positive lifestyle changes, according to preliminary data presented at the European Human Genetics Conference in Milan, Italy, on 16 June 2018. The ongoing prospective study involved 7,328 middle-aged adults from southern Finland who were given personalised information on their ten-year ischaemic heart disease risk via a graphical interface using both traditional and genetic data.
