【 摘 要 】

Aim. To study the role of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in family history regarding coronary heart disease (CHD) prevalence. Material and methods. In total, 1131 males and 1015 females aged 40-59 years, selected from non-organized Tashkent population, were examined. All participants had informative family history. The authors used standard survey methods and unified criteria for epidemiology data assessment. Results. CHD was significantly more prevalent in males (10.6%) and females (12.3%) with CVD in family history, comparing to their peers with no CVD in family anamnesis (5.6% and 7.3%, respectively). In the former, mean blood pressure levels were significantly higher, as well as the prevalence of 3 and more risk factors and/or target organ pathology, than in their peers with no CVD-affected relatives. Conclusion. In the population studied, people with CVD in family history could be regarded as a CHD risk group.
