We investigated prognostic value of the SCORE scale in working age government employees with 3 or more risk factors (RF) of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and metabolic syndrome (MS, 2001 criteria) according to results of 10-year prospective observation in a policlinic. The study comprised 268 practically healthy men: 168 patients with 3 or more RF of CVD (mean age 47.76+/-6.

Numbers of men and women were 45.3 and 54.

It is shown that the frequency of pathological conditions diagnosed by the above methods increases in case of combined arterial hypertension and metabolic disturbances (dyslipidemia, excessive body mass, glucose intolerance). Prospective observations revealed high prognostic value of comprehensive assessment of the cardiovascular system.

The subjects of the study were 186 men considering themselves practically healthy, with high risk of CVC according to SCORE scale. Mean age of the subjects was 47.
