Popis: This article presents the results of a screening study of the population in the Health Center. It shows that 33.61% of persons, who were involved in the study, were people of elderly and senile age interested in the information about factors of the risk of cardiovascular disease development. The screening research has revealed that about 19% of persons of elderly and senile age without cardiovascular diseases, but with risk factors of its development, need prevention of these diseases. Major factors of cardiovascular risk among this group of people are hypercholesterolemia (66.6 and 63.53%), hyperglycemia (27.32 and 34.12%), arterial hypertension (73.48 and 62.28%), excess body weight (77.61 and 68.24%), smoking (10.44 and 0%), low physical activity (55.6 and 57.65%), and poor nutrition (48.58 and 45.88%), accordingly. The most widespread combined factors of cardiovascular risk among elderly persons are hypercholesterolemia, arterial hypertension, and excess body weight/obesity (29.03%). Persons of senile age have a combination of hypercholesterolemia, arterial hypertension, and excess body weight/obesity (20%), and also a combination of hypercholesterolemia, arterial hypertension, excess body weight/obesity, and hyperglycemia (20%).
