[Relationship of different risk factors of ischemic heart disease]

The spread of ischemic heart disease (IHD) risk factors, such as obesity, smoking, inactivity is discussed. Their relationship with the values of the serum lipid spectrum was examined. A wide spread of IHD risk factors and a low awareness of their implication were found in the population. The former can be reduced by questionnaire survey, interpretation of the presence of individual risk factors, and evaluation of the total risk of IHD. Sanitary and educational work on the pathogenesis of IHD is required for its successful prevention.
