title: [Distribution of the major cardiovascular disease risk factors in the adult population of Novi Sad].
abstract: This paper deals with distribution of cardiovascular risk factors (smoking, elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total serum cholesterol and body mass index) in elderly subjects living in Novi Sad for the period 1994-1995. We examined 1270 consecutive subjects of both genders, 25-64 years of age. Risk factors were analyzed by standardized methods of MONICA project. Results obtained by this technique revealed that the population of Novi Sad is highly jeopardized compared to other MONICA collaborative centers in regard to the following risk factors: smoking, obesity and serum cholesterol level, and a little less jeopardized in relation to high blood pressure.
