    Aim. To study modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors (RF) of Stage I obesity and metabolic disturbances, related to associated pathology development.Material and methods. Seventy-eight men and 54 women, aged 30-50 years, with abdominal-visceral obesity (body mass index 25-35 kg/m2), without cardiovascular disease, underwent questionnaire survey, anthropometry, and blood lipid profile assessment.Results. Eighty per cent of the patients had 9-11 obesity and associated pathology RF, 14% – 4-8 RF, and just 6% – ≤3 RF. Lipid profile disturbances were registered in 92% of men and 89% of women. In men, levels of very lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides and atherogenicity index were significantly higher. Conclusion. Based on present RF levels, registered in 122 atherosclerosis-free patients with Stage I abdominal obesity, 10-year risk of associated pathology was estimated as moderate (10-20%) in 105 (79%) patients, and mild (5-10%) in 17 (13%) patients
