Abstract
The review presents with the literary data on the prevalence of risk factors (RF) of cardiovascular diseases among inhabitants of rural areas comparing to citizens from the point of view explaining the mortality gradients between rural and city inhabitants in many countries in the world. It is shown that gradients of RF prevalence among rural inhabitants and citizens are oppositely directed and might change with time. In Russia in general the profile of RF among rural inhabitants is less benign comparing to citizens, that may explain mortality gradient. This issue demands further investigation.

Summary
The review presents with the literary data on the prevalence of risk factors (RF) of cardiovascular diseases among inhabitants of rural areas comparing to citizens from the point of view explaining the mortality gradients between rural and city inhabitants in many countries in the world. По результатам обследования национальной представительной выборки населения, проведенного 20 лет назад, распространенность курения у мужчин была выше среди жителей села в сравнении с горожанами — 66,4% vs 57,7% [11]. По результатам более позднего исследования ЭССЕ-РФ (Эпидемиология Сердечно-Сосудистых заболЕваний в 13 регионах Российской Федерации), проведенного в 2011-2013гг, распространенность курения среди горожан и сельских жителей практически не различалась — 25,8% vs 25,4% [15].
