title: [Investigation of risk factors of cardiovascular events by the interregional assistance fund of relatives of stroke patients].
abstract: We have analyzed the results of the clinical and laboratory study of 1070 people in 7 regions of the Russian Federation, including 222 (20.7%) men and 848 (79.3%) women aged from 19 to 94 years (mean age 57.15±13.39 years). It has been shown that 6.8% were smokers and 31.5% were alcohol abusers. Regular physical training (>30 min/day) was noted in 45.7%. Symptoms of asthenia were found in 73.3%. The level of knowledge on risk factors of stroke was estimated as: arterial hypertension (68.6%), ischemic heart disease (47.5%), heart rhythm disorders (27.0%), thrombosis of low extremities (26.8%). Mean values of arterial pressure were 140/80 mm Hg, heartbeat rate -- 74 per min. Mean value of BMI was 28.67 kg/m(2), BMI was higher than 30 in 41%. Hyperglycemia >6.2 mmol/l was recorded in 28%, hypercholesterolemia >6.2 mmol/l in 26%. Stenoses of inner carotid arteries were found in 49.2%: less than 50% diameter stenosis was in 32.8%, 50--70% in 11.8% and >70% in 4.6%. Antihypertensive drugs were used by 66.8%, antiaggregants - by 31.2% and statins by 31.2%. Knowledge about stroke was demonstrated by 81.8%, about stroke symptoms -- 58.5%, about the appropriate actions to be taken in the case of a stroke -- 48.5%. The low risk of stroke was observed in 33.2%, moderate risk in 37.3%, high-risk in 24.6% and critical risk in 4.9%.
