[Epidemiological study of coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular diseases and their risk-factors].
To study the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD), cerebrovascular diseases (CVD), combined pathology (CHD and CVD) and their risk factors such as arterial hypertension (AH), overweight (OW), hypercholesterolemia (HC) and tobacco smoking in the same population, a random representative sample of male and female populations were examined in Vake districts of Tbilisi. AH and tobacco smoking were found predominant among men, whereas OW and HC among women. It turned out that almost every fourth person out of the men and almost every second women suffered from cardiovascular diseases. In men, the CHD\CVD ratio was 1:1, that in the women, was 1:7. In the men and women, suffering from combined pathology, AH occurred more frequently as compared to those with CHD or CVD alone. OW promoted the development of CVD and combined pathology in women to a greater degree, whereas HC favoured the development of CHD and CV D in men.
