To study the pubescent characteristics of the prevalence of the arterial hypertension, the hyperglycemia, the hypercholesterolemia, the overweight and their combination the comprehensive examination of 4837 citizen of the City of Veliki Novgorod and Novgorod oblast aged from 20 to 87 years was organized. The analysis revealed in the examined territory the higher prevalence of hypertension and other studied risk factors and their combination are strongly related to the gender and the age of population. The prevalence of the obesity and the hyperglycemia, the combination of the overweight with the arterial hypertension and the hyperglycemia and the combination of the arterial hypertension with the hyperglycemia as well are significantly higher in the female subpopulation and in the elder population. It is established that the arterial hypertension affects about 46.80% of the adult population. The hyperglycemia is detected in 6.039% of cases. The prevalence of the fore-obesity and the obesity itself among male population consists of 50.4% and among female population--63.1%. The I degree obesity occurs among the females twice time more often than among the males; the II degree obesity--fourth times more often and the III degree obesity--sixth times more often. Among the females, as compared with the males, the prevalence of the combination of the arterial hypertension with the overweight is 1.5 times higher, the combination of the arterial hypertension with the hyperglycemia--1.7 times higher and the combination of the overweight with the hyperglycemia--1.7 times higher.

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death globally, and many humanitarian crises occur in countries with high NCD burdens. Peer support is a promising approach to improve NCD care in these settings. However, evidence on peer support for people living with NCDs in humanitarian settings is limited.

Background: Hypertension (HTN) is a global public health concern and a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. Insulin resistance (IR) plays a crucial role in HTN-related metabolic dysfunction, but its assessment remains challenging. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and its derivatives (TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, and TyG-WHtR) have emerged as reliable IR markers.

Background: The triglyceride‒glucose index (TyG index) is a reliable surrogate for insulin resistance (IR) in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and is associated with cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have reported that H-type hypertension is likewise a predictor of adverse events in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). However, the relationship between the TyG index and prognosis in patients with H-type hypertension combined with CHD has not yet been reported.

Background: Gallstone disease (GSD) is associated with obesity. The Cardiometabolic Index (CMI), a metric that accurately assesses central adiposity and visceral fat, has not been extensively studied in relation to GSD risk. This study investigates the link between CMI and GSD incidence in U.
