[Prevalence of ischemic heart disease and risk factors for its development among the 40 to 59-year-old male population of different ethnic groups in the city of Frunze]. / Rasprostranennost' ishemicheskoi bolezni serdtsa i faktorov riska ee razvitiia sredi muzhskogo naseleniia 40-59 let razlichnykh étnicheskikh grupp g. Frunze.

An epidemiologic study of 40- to 59-year-old males was carried out in order to assess the effect of ethnic characteristics and migration from high-altitude (2,000-3,500 m above sea-level) Tien Shan areas to Frunze (760 m above sea-level) and vice versa on the prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD) and coronary risk factors. High CHD prevalence was demonstrated in the Kirghizes (13.9%), Europeans (12.8%), and other central Asian nations (8.3%). Europeans showed high prevalence of arterial hypertension (AH, 27.7%), hypercholesterolemia (28.5%) and smoking (48.4%). The prevalence of AH was significantly higher in the Kirghizes permanently residing at low altitudes as compared to a similar European population. Increased incidence of CHD and AH was noted in the highlanders who had come down to live in Frunze.

Results of a horizontal epidemiologic study of an unorganized population of males, aged 20 to 54 years, in Frunze, Kirghizia, are reported. The incidence of coronary heart disease and risk factors is examined with respect to age. The prevalence of coronary heart disease, arterial hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hypo-alpha-cholesterolemia is shown to be similar in mental and manual workers. Excessive body weight is more common in the former, while smoking prevails in the latter.

[Relation between coronary disease risk factors and mortality among men aged 40-59 years in the city of Frunze (5-year follow-up)]. / Vzaimosviaz' dinamiki faktorov riska ishemicheskoi bolezni serdtsa so smertnost'iu sredi muzhchin 40-59 let g. Frunze (za 5-letnii period).

The paper presents the dynamics of risk factors which was traced during prophylactic medical examinations and its relation to death rates among 40-59-year-old males from Frunze over 5 years. Prophylactic measures were found to lead to a positive dynamics of risk factors such as smoking, low physical activity, hypercholesterolemia, arterial hypertension in groups of active prevention. There was a decrease in death rates due to cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction, stroke, among individuals with arterial hypertension, obesity, and low activity in the same group.

[Effectiveness of the cooperative program of multifactorial prevention of ischemic heart disease (results of the 3-year study)]. / Effektivnost' kooperativnoi programmy mnogofaktornoi profilaktiki ishemicheskoi bolezni serdtsa (rezul'taty 3-letnego nabliudeniia).

The paper provides the results obtained in the course of the cooperative All-Union programme on multifactor prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD), which has been implemented over 3 years to examine the efficiency of preventive actions aimed at correcting the levels of CHD risk factors. The study was conducted in 6 centers of the country among a non-organized male population aged 40-59 years. The outcome of the preventive measures, largely nonpharmacological ones, made during 3 years suggests that the prevalence of the major CHD risk factors may be reduced in the population. The preventive actions are the most beneficial in arterial hypertension and smoking.

[Nutrition, the prevalence of ischemic heart disease and risk factors of its development in men aged 40-49 years in the city of Frunze in relation to ethnic groups]. / Pitanie i rasprostranennost' IBS i faktorov riska ee vozniknoveniia u muzhchin 40-49 let g. Frunze: zavisimost' ot étnicheskoi prinadlezhnosti.

An epidemiological survey was conducted among men aged 40 to 59 to study interrelationships of the nutritional patterns in 2 ethnic groups of population and the prevalence of CHD and risk factors of its development. The nutritional habits of the indigenous Kirghiz population in the city of Frunze differed significantly from those of the alien population (Russians, Ukrainians, etc.) and were characterized by a higher consumption of proteins and complex carbohydrates. Nutrition of the alien population included mostly simple carbohydrates: sugar, fat and monounsaturated fatty acids. Coronary heart disease, arterial hypertension, smoking, excess body mass, low physical activity were equally common among the Kirghiz and Europeans. Hypercholesterinemia was noted more frequently in Europeans whereas hypertriglyceridemia was more common among the Kirghiz.

[Blood lipid levels and the nature of the nutrition of 40- to 59-year-old men in the city of Frunze in relation to their ethnic classification]. / Issledovanie urovnia lipidov krovi i kharaktera pitaniia u muzhchin 40-59 let g. Frunze v zavisimosti ot étnicheskoi prinadlezhnosti.

The relationship between the nutrition character and blood lipid parameters was studied in a male population aged 40-59 years in Frunze. It was established that the levels of total cholesterol, low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the natives were lower, while those of triglycerides and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol higher than in the nonnatives. At the same time the correlation values of atherogenic and antiatherogenic lipoproteins in the comparable groups were equally high. In spite of certain differences in the nutrition of the groups investigated (the percent of proteins and complex carbohydrates was higher, while the portion of simple carbohydrates and fat was lower in the ration of the natives than in the nonnatives) actual nutrition of both the native and nonnative populations is characterized by imbalance of certain groups of nutrients in the ration: prevalence of fats and low carbohydrate content.

[Nutrition and the incidence of ischemic heart disease and risk factor for its occurrence among men 20-59 years of age depending on their ethnic group affiliation]. / Pitanie rasprostrannost' i ishemicheskoi bolezni serdtsa i faktorov riska ee vozniknoveniia sredi muzhchin 20-59 let v zavisimosti ot ikh étnicheskoi prinadlezhnosti.

The epidemiological investigation of males aged 20-59 years, conducted in Frunze, has shown a rather high incidence rate of coronary heart disease (CHD) and its risk factors among them, the nutrition being related with the incidence of CHD and its risk factors. The character of nutrition is distinctly associated with differences in the incidence of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia among the indigenous and nonindigenous population.

[Study of the age dynamics of nutritional indicators and blood lipids in connection with the incidence of ischemic heart disease in the male population of Frunze]. / Izuchenie vozrastnoi dinamiki pokazatelei pitaniia i lipidov krovi v sviazi v rasprostranennost'iu ishemicheskoi bolezni serdtsa v populiatsii muzhchin g. Frunze.

Epidemiological investigation of males aged 20-59 years in Frunze has shown atherogenic tendency of age dynamics of blood lipid level. The character of the nutrition of the population studied proved to be as a whole atherogenic due to imbalance with respect to the main food substances. The shifts detected in the parameters of nutrition and blood lipids correlate well with rather high incidence of coronary heart disease among the population investigated.

[Study of the effect of migration to high-mountain regions on the blood lipoprotein system]. / Issledovanie vliianiia migratsii v gornye regiony na sistemu lipoproteidov krovi.

The effect of regular migration of lowlands residents to highlands on their blood lipoproteins was investigated. As compared to non-migrants, the migrants showed a decrease of serum total cholesterol, a reduction of low density lipoproteins, and an increase of high density lipoproteins. The antiatherogenic changes in blood lipoproteins were correlated with a lower prevalence of ischemic heart disease in migrants.

Prevalence of ischaemic heart disease risk factors among the male population in Frunze aged 40-59 years and results of a five-year prevention programme.

The study analyses, first, the prevalence of risk factors of ischaemic heart disease among the male population of the city of Bishkek, aged 40-59 years (n = 5246) and, second, the efficacy of a preventive programme according to the development of risk factors in groups exposed to preventive measures of various intensity during 5 years. The prevalence of IHD risk factors in the given population was very high. In the group exposed to active preventive intervention a decrease in the prevalence of arterial hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, smoking and low physical activity was registered after 5 years, compared to a group without active prevention.
