title: [Clinico-social aspects of arterial hypertension in the population of the Karelian ASSR].
abstract: In accordance to the complex programme of "Region" in February-May 1985 mobile medical teams of the Military Academy of Medicine named after S. M. Kirov conducted a sample screening of inhabitants in 15 regions and 2 cities of the Karelian ASSR. Arterial hypertension (AH) was detected in 13.6%, renal arterial hypertension (RAH) in 11.4%, hypertensive disease (HD) in 14.3% of persons screened. It was found that excess body weight considerably increased the risk of HD especially in women under 40 years of age. In 37.1% of persons screened HD was detected for the first time which suggested the need for the improvement of follow-up system for all persons with AH and RAH along with the improvement of screening procedures to provide for more precise diagnoses.
