title: [Epidemiology of arterial hypertension and various characteristics of mineral metabolism among nomadic stock breeders in Tuva].
abstract: To reveal cardiovascular abnormalities, a screening was made in Tuva, which covered 1481 nomadic stock breeders, 1041 settled natives and 1081 migrants. The incidence of arterial hypertension (AH) was 33.5% among the nomadic stock breeders and 17.2% among the settled Tuva habitants and migrants. No impact of obesity and dyslipoproteinemia on the incidence of AH was found in the nomadic stock breeders. There was a direct correlation between the incidence of AH and alcoholization and an inverse correlation between its incidence and smoking in nomadic stock breeders aged 50-59 years. The hairs from the nomadic stock breeders exhibited elevated levels of aluminium, chromium, manganese, iron, and vanadium, which is not attributable to higher levels of these compounds in the meat of domestic animals.
