title: [Mean values of risk factors for ischemic heart disease and their percentile distributions in the Alma-Ata population of men aged 20-54].
abstract: The authors analyze the results of a one-stage epidemiological study of the open population of men aged 20-54 years (n-2886), carried out with a purpose of revealing coronary heart disease (CHD) and its risk factors (RF). The study was performed with the aid of the standard WHO methods of epidemiological investigations. The prevalence of the main CHD RF (arterial and borderline hypertension, overweight, tobacco-smoking, dyslipoproteinemias) was established. The mean values of RF in different age groups were calculated. The regional 90% cut-off points of RF distributions were defined: the body weight index (30.0), systolic arterial pressure (141 mm Hg), diastolic arterial pressure (95 mm Hg), cholesterol level (6.50 mmol/l, triglycerides (2.15 mmol/l). The 10% cut-off point for alpha-cholesterol amounted to 0.98 mmol/l. The regional values obtained can be used in prophylactic screenings when making up groups to be placed under dispensary observation.
