Abstract:
In total 256 patients with arterial hypertension were examined in one of the districts of out-patients clinic. Preventive clinical investigation revealed high frequency of nutrition disorders, overweight, obesity and hypercholesterolemia. On the base of these results necessary size and character of dieteologic intervention were evaluated. 90.2% patients with arterial hypertension need overweight and obesity correction, 90.3%--correction of hypercholesterolemia.
