In order to fulfil their duties, Public health authorities have to rely on valid and recent data on the health status of populations. The CoLaus study helped to update our knowledge regarding the prevalence and management of the main cardiovascular risk factors in the Lausanne population. The results indicate that cardiovascular risk factor management is suboptimal and can still be improved, namely that specific population subgroups could benefit from targeted prevention measures. The CoLaus study also allowed to simulate the effect of different preventive strategies, thus enabling to choose the most (cost) effective ones, an important issue taking into account the current health budget restrictions.
为履行职责，公共卫生当局必须依赖关于人群健康状况的有效且最新的数据。CoLaus研究有助于更新我们对洛桑人群主要心血管危险因素的患病率及管理的认识。结果表明，心血管危险因素管理并不理想，仍有改进空间，即特定人群亚组可从针对性预防措施中获益。CoLaus研究还能模拟不同预防策略的效果，从而能够选择最（具成本）效益的策略，鉴于当前的健康预算限制，这是一个重要问题。
