Mental Health of the Russian Federation Population versus Regional Living Conditions and Individual Income.

The objective of our study was to assess the impact of regional living conditions on the Russian population's mental health. For the analysis, we used data from the cross-sectional stage of a 2013-2014 study, "Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Diseases in the Regions of the Russian Federation (ESSE-RF)". The final sample included 18,021 men and women 25-64 years of age from 11 regions of Russia.

Major and minor ECG abnormalities depending on regional living conditions in Russia.

The goal of our study was to explore the effect of living conditions on the odd of major and minor ECG abnormalities on a large region scale in Russia. For the analysis, cross-sectional data of the Russian study, ESSE-RF 2013-2014, were used. They were collected on a sample of 16,400 subjects from 10 regions of the Russia.

What Regional Living Conditions Affect Individual Smoking of Adults in Russia.

Our study evaluated the impact of a wide range of characteristics of large administrative regions on the individual level of cigarette smoking in the Russian adult population. The pool of participants included 20,303 individuals aged 25-64 years. We applied 64 characteristics of the 12 Russian regions under study for 2010-2014.

Lipoprotein(a) in an adult sample from the Russian population: distribution and association with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.

Introduction: Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is recognized as an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The aim of this study was to estimate the distribution of Lp(a) levels in working age adults from the Russian population and to assess its association with ischemic heart disease (IHD), myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, diabetes mellitus (DM), and arterial hypertension (AH).

Material And Methods: This substudy of the population-based study "Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Diseases and their Risk Factors in Some Regions of the Russian Federation" (ESSE-RF) included 8461 subjects aged 25-64 years (63.

[Empirical dietary patterns in the Russian population and the risk factors of chronic non-infectious diseases (Research ECVD-RF)].

Currently, in the epidemiology of nutrition, methodological approaches to the empirical assessment of the diets of the population and their relationship to health indicators are actively using. In Russia, these approaches have been used in a number of cohort and regional studies, however, such studies are not available for the entire Russian population. .

[The Prediction Model of Cardiovascular Events Among the Russian Population: Methodological Aspects].

Unlabelled: Modeling is the common approach for predicting not only the population health, but also the social and economic burden of disease, which is an important argument while making decisions in health care and prevention.

Aim: To develop the model for predicting cardiovascular risk, applicable for the assessment of clinical and socio-economic effects of preventive and therapeutic actions at the level of the whole population or part (region, city, group of patients).

Material And Methods: An analytical model for making decision was performed by using a Markov model consisting of Markov states and probabilities of transition from one state to another within a certain time interval.

[The prevalence of anxiety and depression in different regions of the Russian Federation and its association with sociodemographic factors (according to the data of the ESSE-RF study)].

Aim: To study the prevalence of anxiety and depression by psychometric methods (the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) in different regions of the Russian Federation (RF), which are characterized by various climatic, geographic, economic, and demographic indicators.

Subjects And Methods: The investigation used the data of the multicenter epidemiological survey of cardiovascular diseases in different regions of the Russian Federation--the ESSE-RF study. The subjects of the study were representative samples from unorganized male and female populations aged 25-64 years from 10 RF regions.

[Outpatient prophylaxis and treatment of arterial hypertension with application of mobile telephone systems and Internet techniques].

Aim: To compare clinical efficacy of standard outpatient follow-up of hypertensive patients with efficacy of such follow-up with application of internet techniques and mobile telephone systems (ITMTS).

Material And Methods: Two groups of hypertensive patients were examined: group 1 (n=97, 45% females, age 49 +/- 11 years) on one-year ITMTS follow-up; group 2 (n=102, 50% females, age 51 +/- 11 years) on standard one-year follow-up. Clinical efficacy was assessed by the rate of achievement and maintenance of target blood pressure, dynamics of modifiable risk factors (smoking, obesity) for a year.

[Assessment of clinical course, prognosis and effectiveness of drug and nondrug treatment of patients with ischemic heart disease and occlusive coronary artery atherosclerosis (data of 5-year prospective follow-up)].

Data of 5-year prospective follow-up were used for assessment of clinical course, prognosis and effectiveness of drug and nondrug treatment of 202 patients with ischemic heart disease, occlusive coronary artery atherosclerosis and preserved left ventricular function. It was found that 5-year cardiovascular mortality and rate of nonfatal myocardial infarction did not differ significantly between groups of patients subjected to drug treatment only, transluminal balloon angioplasty, and coronary artery bypass grafting.

[Clinical course of disease and prognosis in patients with ischemic heart disease with stable angina pectoris, caused by stenosing coronary atherosclerosis (data from a a 20-year study].

Aim: To study a course and prognosis of ischemic heart disease (IHD) with stable angina pectoris (SAP) caused by stenotic coronary atherosclerosis (SCA) by 20-year follow-up data. MATERIAL AND DATA: Prognosis of survival was made in 318 patients with SAP due to SCA.

Results: The results of a 20-year study show that prognosis in IHD patients depends on SAP severity (by the functional class), exercise tolerance (by the exercise test), severity of coronary bed affection and of left ventricular contractility affection as assessed by coronary- and ventriculography.
