Objective:
The aim establish the height and weight characteristics of servicemen of mobilization age with cardiovascular diseases, the frequency and etiological fraction of excess body weight and obesity in the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: The study included military personnel, exclusively male (n=127), who made up the observation group. The age of the study participants varied from 19 to 64 years, the average age - 43.06±4.07. All study participants were undergoing inpatient examination and treatment with cardiovascular diseases. The material for the study was the results of anthropological examinations and data from primary accounting medical documentation (medical history, primary medical card, evacuation ticket, etc.).
Results:
Results: It was established that the prevalence of obesity in the observation group was 26.0%, which is significantly higher compared to the frequency of obesity in the control group of 13.2% (χ2=17.02; P=0.0003). It was found that obesity of the III stage degree occurred significantly more often in the experimental group - 3.03% compared to the control group - 0.4%, (χ2=5.73; #=0.01). The calculated value of the etiological share (EF of obesity) was equal to 51-66%, which indicates a high contribution of obesity to the development of cardiovascular diseases.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: It was established that the prevalence of obesity of various degrees among servicemen with diseases of the cardiovascular system is significantly higher compared to the frequency of obesity in the male population of Ukraine.

Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
