Abstract
Introduction: Systematical calculation of cardiovascular risks with middle aged persons is not recommended, but in that age start of measures of primary prevention is recommended. Methods: Retrospective research study. Laboratorial data were used from persons aged 40 to 50 who have done a physical examination for working employees in the private Medical Centre for Occupational Medicine during 2014. Results: There were 54% of overweight examinees, 17% really obese, with a greater representation of men. Higher systolic blood pressure was found with 24% of males and 10% of females, a diastolic with 28% of males and 8% of females. High total and LDL cholesterol were found with 71% of examinees, while low HDL cholesterol and high triglycerides were found with 21% i.e. 25% of examinees, regardless of gender. Conclusion: Register of physical examinations of employees should be used as a source of information on representation of cardiovascular risks with middle aged persons, which would allow a timely start of measures of primary prevention.
Highlights
Systematical calculation of cardiovascular risks with middle aged persons is not recommended, but in that age start of measures of primary prevention is recommended
This has led to the conclusion that public health measures, education and raising awareness of risk factors can prevent major groups of chronic diseases, because they share some of the pathogenic mechanisms, namely cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, malignant diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and dementia [3]
Given that many of the afore-mentioned risk factors are the result of an inadequate lifestyle, by implementing primary prevention measures, efforts are made to prevent the onset of cardiovascular disease
Summary
Systematical calculation of cardiovascular risks with middle aged persons is not recommended, but in that age start of measures of primary prevention is recommended. Conclusion: Register of physical examinations of employees should be used as a source of information on representation of cardiovascular risks with middle aged persons, which would allow a timely start of measures of primary prevention. Numerous studies focus on the importance of the prevention and the negative consequences of this disease This has led to the conclusion that public health measures, education and raising awareness of risk factors can prevent major groups of chronic diseases, because they share some of the pathogenic mechanisms, namely CVD, diabetes, malignant diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and dementia [3]. Large prospective epidemiological studies, such as Framingham study, have identified the major risk factors whose presence increases the risk of accelerated arteriosclerotic diseases These factors, known as the classic CV risk factors, include: age, hypertension, smoking, obesity, diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, increased serum concentration of lipids, impaired serum levels of lipids (dyslipidaemia), and sedentary lifestyle. Obtained data can serve in the implementation of primary prevention of CV disease
