Co-occurrence of risky lifestyle behavior with overweight, excess abdominal fat and high blood pressure - case oriented approach [ZajedniÄka pojavnost riziÄnog ponaÅ”anja i prekomjerne tjelesne težine, abdominalne debljine i visokog tlaka - studija sluÄajeva]
The objective was to estimate the proportion of cases developed interim risk factors (INTF: overweight, excess abdominal fat, high blood pressure) in relation with behavioral risk factors (BEHF: smoking, heavy alcohol intake, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity). NOBIR group was defined as cases with no BEHF and BIR as those with them. Both groups show higher proportions of INTF in older age. The increase by age varies of twofold (overweight: 13.2-29.2 for men, 18.1-42.6 for women) to six fold (high blood pressure: 4.6-26.5 for men, 6.6-40.8 for women) in proportions. Women show higher proportions of INTF than men in both groups, but BIR group shows higher proportions than NOBIR in all the age groups taking the both gender together. As a BEHF the physical inactivity has a markedly increase with age (from 4% to more than 25%). Smoking is the only BEHF decreasing in oldest for all the INTF
Hrvatska zdravstvena anketa 2003/10. (HZA 2003/10)
Hrvatsku zdravstvenu anketu 2003. provelo je Ministarstvo zdravstva RH u suradnji sa Å kolom narodnog zdravlja Ā«Andrija Å tamparĀ» i Hrvatskim zavodom za javno zdravstvo kao dio projekta za prevenciju kardiovaskularnih bolesti financiranog kreditom Svjetske banke.

VuletiÄ, uz sudjelovanje tima koji je ukljuÄio istraživaÄe iz Å NZ-a Ā«A. Å tamparĀ», HZJZ-a, županijskih zavoda te niza drugih ustanova. Cilj istraživanja bio je pružiti sveobuhvatne podatke o zdravlju stanovniÅ”tva Hrvatske, ukljuÄujuÄi pristup i koriÅ”tenje zdravstvene zaÅ”tite, zdravstveni status te odrednice zdravlja (puÅ”enje, fiziÄka aktivnost, prehrana, alkohol) s posebnim naglaskom na kardiovaskularne bolesti
