| Popis: | Aim. To study the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (RFs) in Moscow secondary school teachers. Material and methods. This clinico-preventive examination included 190 teachers from 4 secondary schools in North-Western Moscow Region. The response rate was 94%, the percentage of women was 95,8%, and the mean age of participants was 47,2±0,9 years. All participants underwent anthropometry and the measurement of blood pressure (BP), total cholesterol (TCH), and blood glucose levels. Results. The assessed cardiovascular RFs were absent in 17,6% of the school teachers. The majority of the participants had a combination of various cardiovascular RFs. The prevalence of AH combination with other RFs was 36,2%. The prevalence of AH and newly diagnosed AH was 36,7% and 6,1%, respectively. Antihypertensive therapy (AHT) prevalence was 87,9% in teachers with AH; however, target BP levels were not achieved. The prevalence of smoking and overweight was 28,0%. Normal body weight was registered in 39,3% of teachers, while 32,9%, 24,7% and 3,1% had overweight, obesity and severe obesity, respectively. Abdominal obesity (AO) was observed in 45,3%. Hypercholesterolemia (HCH) prevalence was 48,9%; 53,9% of HCH patients had moderately elevated TCH levels, and 46,1% had substantially elevated TCH concentrations. Overweight, AO, and HCH were more prevalent in teachers with AH: the respective percentages were 86,4%, 67,6%, and 62,1% (p |
