The paper is focusing on analysis of data collected in twenty years lasting longitudial study of 1417 middle-aged men living in the second district of Prague. Examination of methods that can support estimation of risk of cardiovascular disease development in the time is done. These methods examined were neural networks, discriminant analysis and logistic regression. The final comparison was done according to percentage of correct decisions and using ROC curves.
