Abstract

In the frame of Multicenter observational study ECVD-RF (Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Diseases and their Risk Factors in Regions of Russian Federation) by the unique protocol the investigation of representative selections of adult population at the age of 25-64 y. o. of 11 regions RF (n=18305, including males, n=6919 and females n=11386): Volgograd, Vologda, Voronezh, Ivanovo, Kemerovo, Orenburg, Samara, Tomsk, Tyumen, Saint-Petersburg and Northern Osetia-Alania. The prevalence of the following risk factors (RF) of cardiovascular diseases is evaluated: high blood pressure - 33,8%, obesity - 29,7%, high total cholesterol - 57,6%, high glucose level or diabetes - 4,6%, smoking (tobacco consumption) - 25,7%, insufficient (low) level of physical activity - 38,8%, excessive salt consumption - 49,9% and insufficient vegetables and fruits consumption - 41,9%. Gender differences and an increase with the age of the parameters mentioned are described. The absence of a epidemiologic monitoring system at the Federal level leads to an impossibility of clear conclusions on the RF dynamics in Russian population. While comparing the ECVD-RF study with previous epidemiological studies we can just cautiously suppose the existence in 21st age of negative dynamics of one RF (obesity, dyslipidemia) and positive dynamics of the others (smoking).
