Abstract
We are grateful to Neuhold et al. (1) for their interest in our article (2) and agree
with their insightful comments. They highlight an interesting juxtaposition in
the field of preventative medicine. While there is increasing disquiet being
aired by many regarding the overdiagnosis and overtreatment of some conditions in developed countries, at the same time guidelines for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in the general populations of these countries are being
considerably broadened.
