Psychological and metabolic features of young people with stage 1 hypertension and disgarmonious fat component

Summary. Prevention of hypertension is a less expensive and much safer process than interventions such as coronary artery bypass grafting and dialysis, which may be required in the absence and detection of asymptomatic hypertension. The problem of identifying young people with hypertension at an early stage, stratification of cardiovascular risk (CVR), individual selection of adequate therapy, as well as the introduction of preventive measures against the most common factors of CVR, including overweight (OW) at the primary care stage help needs further study. The aim of the study – to learn the clinical and metabolic characteristics of young people with stage 1 hypertension and OW. Materials and Methods. The study examined 74 patients aged 18–44 years with a verified diagnosis of hypertension stage I and BMI, who were divided into two clinical groups, depending on the level of SVR (21 patients with low CVR (LCVR), and 53 patients with moderate CVR (MCVR). After signing informed consent of the patient, based on the analysis of complaints, anamnesis, physical and laboratory methods of monitoring, ultrasound examination and determination level of the CVR respondents were divided into two groups. When determining CVR using an online calculator calculated the total CVR at the level of SBP, HDLP and smoking status, as well as the CVR for BMI. Evaluation of blood pressure was performed by measuring SBP and DBP with mechanically device MicrolifeBPAG1-20 (Switzerland). When measuring anthropometric indicators we determined body weight (kg), height (m). Based on these parameters, the body mass index(BMI) and assessed the degree of obesity. Results. Clinical and laboratory examination of young patients with stage 1 hypertension and OW, divided into persons with low cardiovascular (lCVR) and moderate cardiovascular risk (mCVR) found that: – frequency of early cardiovascular diseases among parents of patients (severe heredity); significantly (
