title: [Results of nonmedical interventions in multicenter randomized open study of efficacy of lifestyle modification and therapy with quinapril in patients with obesity and hypertension].
abstract: There is a pathogenetic interrelationship between obesity and hypertension. Moreover it has become evident that the use of most modern and active antihypertensive drugs can not be effective without concomitant treatment of obesity. This study was conducted in 18 cities of Russian Federation in order to demonstrate influences of lifestyle changes on hypertension and levels of cardiovascular risk factors. The objective was to attract attention of physicians and patients to the problem of obesity and hypertension and to their inherent dangers.
