Abstract:
Aim: The aim of the study is to analyze the risk of cardiovascular complications (CVC) in an unorganized population of men and women of working age in the Vladimir region.
Material and methods: The cross-sectional population-based study included 1,350 men and women aged 30-69 years from 5 cities of the Vladimir region (Vladimir, Kovrov, Murom, Yuryev-Polsky and Vyazniki). The response to the study was 87%. In total, 1174 people completed the study. Of these, 424 were men (36.1%) and 750 women (63.9%). The risk of developing fatal cardiovascular complications was assessed using the European SCORE scale (in the absence of verified CVD). Depending on the total score, the risk was assessed as follows: low risk <1%, moderate risk - from 1% to 5%, high risk - from 5% to 9% and very high risk - 10-14%.
Results: In the examined unorganized population, the high and very high risk of cardiovascular complications according to the European SCORE scale among men was 32%, among women this figure was 2 times lower (15.5%). Thus, the majority of women had low and moderate risk (66.3%), which is 1.5 times more likely than men (43.6%). With comparable rates of hypertension (41.5% in men and 39.9% in women) and hypercholesterolemia (57.8% in men and 55.7% in women), male gender and smoking status (38.4% in men and 9.3% in women) contributed to the total cardiovascular risk values. The frequency of very high risk of cardiovascular complications among men in certain cities of the Vladimir region was 2.5-4 times higher compared to women.
Conclusion: Thus, in 5 cities of the Vladimir region, every third man of working age had a high and very high cardiovascular risk, which is due to the prevalence of smoking, hypercholesterolemia and hypertension. Among women, high and very high cardiovascular risk was 2 times lower (15.5%), while a high incidence of hypercholesterolemia and hypertension was also observed. There is variability in the very high risk of cardiovascular complications in different cities of the Vladimir region.
Key words: Prevalence, Population, Cardiovascular risk, SCORE scale.
