Comparison of risks in cardiovascular diseases

Abstract:
The paper presents the estimations of the short-time and the long-time (10 years) risks of developing a cardiovascular disease (CD). The standard risk factors considered were: age, deviation from the ideal weight, number of cigarettes smoked per day, level of serum cholesterol and systolic blood pressure. The cardiovascular diseases likely to be induced by these risk factors were: myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, ischemic heart diseases and stroke. The comparison of the estimated probabilities of developing the disease for various risk factors profiles emphasizes the value of epidemiologic intervention already in young agers.
