Participant Flow

The place where women were recruited for our study was a pharmacy located in the city centre of Elche, during October 2010. Elche is an industrial city located in the Southeast of Spain, with a population of 230 000 inhabitants.

Before the survey began, 14 people were discarded from the survey because their cholesterol levels were lower than the inclusion standards. 5 participants decided to withdraw from the survey once it had began. 3 of them abandoned the study voluntarily. 1 left because she was pregnant, and 1 violated the protocol norms and was expelled.
