[THE RESULTS OF THE ANALYSIS OF RISK FACTORS, CARDIOVASCULAR RISK, CHRONIC NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES IN YOUNG AND...

To assess the frequency of risk factors (RF), total cardiovascular risk (CHR) and their association with the level of education in young and middle-aged people.

Persons aged 25-59 (40.4 ± 9.2) years old took part in a one-stage comparative study; an anamnesis was taken, a physical examination was carried out, risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, cardiovascular risk were assessed according to the Systematic Coronary Risk Estimation scale in persons aged 40 years and older, according to the relative risk scale - under the age of 40, laboratory parameters.

Hypercholesterolemia was present in 6.1%, hyperglycemia - in 4%, obesity - in 2.5%, one risk factor - in 25.5%, 3 or more risk factors - in 30.7% of patients, the maximum number of risk factors - in men. Moderate CVR was present in 58.4%, very high - in 3.7%, low - in 31.8% of cases. Low CV risk: prevalence in women with higher education (p = 0.034), compared with women with secondary education, which was not observed in the group of men (p = 0.109). Men smoked more. Persons with higher education quit smoking 4 times more often than persons with secondary education (p = 0.001; OR = 3.98), persons with secondary education smoked 2.74 times more often (p = 0.001, OR = 2.74), than higher education. Overweight was detected in 47%: in females (p < 0.001) and males (p = 0.003), its occurrence was less common in the group with higher education. AH was present in 8.3% of patients, and the level of its control was better in those with higher education than those with secondary education (p < 0.001).

The gender conditionality of low CVR and unidirectional trends in attitudes towards smoking in connection with the level of education were established. Purposeful consideration of the level of education, age, gender, increases the identification of risk groups for the formation of multimorbidity and high cardiovascular risk in the future.
