Russia lacks a federal epidemiologic monitoring system, preventing clear conclusions about cardiovascular risk factor dynamics in its population. The ECVD‑RF study surveyed a representative sample of 18,305 adults aged 25‑64 across 11 Russian regions using a unique protocol. The study found high prevalence of hypertension (33.8 %), obesity (29.7 %), high cholesterol (57.6 %), diabetes (4.6 %), smoking (25.7 %), low physical activity (38.8 %), high salt intake (49.9 %) and low fruit/vegetable consumption (41.9 %), with gender and age gradients and indications of worsening obesity and dyslipidemia but improving smoking rates compared to earlier surveys.
In the frame of Multicenter observational study ECVD-RF (Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Diseases and their Risk Factors in Regions of Russian Federation) by the unique protocol the investigation of representative selections of adult population at the age of 25-64 y.o. of 11 regions RF (n=18305, including males, n=6919 and females n=11386): Volgograd, Vologda, Voronezh, Ivanovo, Kemerovo, Orenburg, Samara, Tomsk, Tyumen, Saint-Petersburg and Northern Osetia-Alania. The prevalence of the following risk factors (RF) of cardiovascular diseases is evaluated: high blood pressure — 33,8%, obesity — 29,7%, high total cholesterol — 57,6%, high glucose level or diabetes — 4,6%, smoking (tobacco consumption) — 25,7%, insufficient (low) level of physical activity — 38,8%, excessive salt consumption — 49,9% and insufficient vegetables and fruits consumption — 41,9%. Gender differences and an increase with the age of the parameters mentioned are described. The absence of a epidemiologic monitoring system at the Federal level leads to an impossibility of clear conclusions on the RF dynamics in Russian population. While comparing the ECVD-RF study with previous epidemiological studies we can just cautiously suppose the existence in 21st age of negative dynamics of one RF (obesity, dyslipidemia) and positive dynamics of the others (smoking).
