Abstract
To examine the role of educational programs in modifying certain risk factors in patients with arterial hypertension (AH), working at a large industrial enterprise, 185 patients with AH were selected. The patients were randomized into two groups: 125 persons were included into the main group; the remaining 60 - the control group. All the patients initially and a year after the supervision had a questionnaire and full clinical and diagnostic examination with the individually chosen scheme of hypertensive therapy. The intervention group patients additionally received a training course in «Health School " that led to raising awareness of AH, changing eating habits and alcohol consumption, as well as the positive dynamics in correcting the behavioral risk factors such as low physical activity and smoking.
