Abstract
Objective: To investigate the spreading of AH RF in 29–69 years women with type 2 diabetes, who live in Pavlodar. Design and method: The object of the study was a representative sample of 763 women aged 29–69 years, living in Pavlodar. All surveyed completed a questionnaire to identify non-specific non-communicable diseases and the presence of bad habits, blood pressure was measured, body mass index was determined, and laboratory studies to determine the lipid spectrum were made. Results: The obtained results demonstrated that among the women with diabetes the most common risk factors were cigarette smoking and low physical activity, which reached 41.0% and 38.4% respectively. Next in frequency of occurrence is the use of alcohol - 31,2% and excess weight of a body (BMI) - 28.1%, followed by obesity (24.2%). Turn to lipid profile, the picture was as follows: the percentage of patients who were diagnosed with LDL was 100%; the percentage of patients with LDL < 2.5 mmol/L amounted to 82.5%, hypercholesterolemia (HCS) was 21.7%; hypocholesterolemia (hypo-cholesterol) - 17,9%, and hypertriglyceridemia (GTG) was more than 1/3 of surveyed and amounted to 36.8%. Conclusions: The high frequency of the above-mentioned risk factors indicates the absence of timely preventive measures, which are important in fighting hypertension, which could prevent the further development of complications and the reduction of mortality rates from heart diseases.
