Abstract
Background: The literature data about the frequency of cardiovascular risk factors in old age patients from social protection institutions at the present time remains controversial. Objective: To examine the frequency of cardiovascular risk factors in persons of both sexes aged over 60 years who lives at infirmaries and social service centers of the Novosibirsk region. Methods: Questioning of infirmaries and social service centers of the Novosibirsk region was applied. Data from 2676 people of both sexes aged over 60 years who were residents of the Novosibirsk Region were obtained. A unified database of questioning data results was created. The material in the statistical package «R» for Windows was analyzed. Results: In aged 60 years people who lives at infirmaries and social service centers of the Novosibirsk region the frequency of major cardiovascular risk factors is rather high (in particular, arterial hypertension and overweight). Conclusion: The analysis of such risk factors may be of great interest in the detailed development of preventive measures. In conditions of social protection institutions, it is important to adhere to a balanced diet, both to correct hyperglycemia in diabetes and to reduce excess body weight.
