title: [Prognostic significance of body weight and the possibility of dietary correction of obesity in male Moscow residents aged 40-59 years].
abstract: Males, aged from 40 to 59, were followed up during 5 years after a standard epidemiological investigation. Their mortality rate and incidence of new cases of myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke were studied against the background of active preventive program (group I), and during routine treatment (group II). Hinh prognostic importance of body mass value has been shown in respect to common mortality rate, mortality rate due to cardiovascular diseases, incidence of myocardial infarction and its lethal outcomes. Difficulties in the correction of nutrition habits in middle-age subjects for decreasing their body mass, and relations between the nutrition habits and body mass were noted. Regardless of the body mass growth degree, a tendency was observed to the lowering of common and cardiovascular disease-induced mortality rates. The incidence rate of myocardial infarction in patients with excessive body mass significantly decreased. Body mass correction has been recommended in subjects aged from 40 to 49 years with body mass index 29.
