Effectiveness of CRaEP was assessed\: 1\) in terms of exposure to each risk factor separately, 2\) using the Scale of Program Efficiency \(SPE\), and 3\) evaluating t4e risk of change after 16 weeks and 1 year after the completion of CRaEP compared to the initial observation. The risk of disease recurrence or death due to IHD was determined using the Framingham risk score and the PRECARD. Statistical analysis involved uni\- and multivariate linear regression and logistic regression, as well. Results\: The study involved 167 men with a mean age of 55.6 years \(SD= ±9.88\) and"]
