Aims: Owing to high cardiovascular mortality, the Norwegian Government introduced the programme "Health and Inequalities in Finnmark" in 1988. One of the projects in this programme was aimed at changing cardiovascular risk factors through community-based intervention in a fishing community in the Norwegian Arctic. Methods: The intervention community Batsfjord and the three control communities were selected from the same coastal area. The intervention was based on a quasi-experimental design, and evaluated by population surveys before (1987) and after (1993) the invention. The attending cohort was analysed. The intervention method was based on empowerment and cooperation between different organizations, and the primary healthcare system. Results: From 1987-93, the male cohort in Batsfjord had a more favourable development. when compared with changes in the control communities regarding the 8.6% increase in physical activity (p=0.047), the reduction in systolic blood pressure by 0.01 mmHg (p=0.002), and the reduction in diastolic blood pressure by 2.1 mmHg (p
