Abstract | UNLABELLED: THE AIM: of our study was to estimate atherosclerosis risk factors profile in subjects, inhabitants of Lódź (Poland), with (group I) and without (group II) CHD. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Group I--196 patients (85 men and 111 women), aged 34-88 years (mean 63.3 +/- 10.1 years). Group II--170 subjects (87 men and 83 women), aged 24-82 years (mean 58.16 +/- 13.8 years) without CHD. RESULTS:
Overweight or obesity was the most frequent CHD risk factor in the examined population (74.49% in group I). Other risk factor in this group were: increased total cholesterol level (65.08%), hypertension (51,53%), smoking (40.31%), diabetes (24.08%). In group II overweight or obesity was observed in 60% patients, smoking--48.82%, elevated total cholesterol level--43.53%, hypertension--40.24% and diabetes--16.98%. CONCLUSION: Our study have demonstrated that realisation of primary and secondary prevention principles in Lódź population is insufficient.
