“…It is also evident that there is a lack of data the prevalence of obesity in specific age groups in the Russian Federation in general. The last statistical data that was presented in the works of Peterkova Our observations of the last years demonstrated high level of obesity and overweight prevalence in schoolchildren, mainly during and after puberties [16]. Boys are more obese than girls.…”

15067 Moscow school-age children and adolescents (6-17 years o ld, 7760 boys, and 7307 girls) were examined. Fro m age of 10-13 years old numbers of girls with underweight growth up to twice. In boys group number of schoolchildren with underweight was just the same. Instead of girls, number of boys with underweight was stable. Nu mber of girls with overweight (without obesity) was higher 20% of population except age 16-17 years old. Peak number of girls with obesity registered in age 8-14 years old. In age 11, 13-14 years old number of g irls with overweight was higher than 25%. Nu mber of boys with overweight (without obesity) was some lo wer then number of girls; it also was near 20% of populations. The highest levels of overweight were registered in age 12-13 years old. Boys' physical develop ment demonstrated to be ahead such of girls. The flexib ility of the boys was reduced in comparison with girls. At the same time the boys had the best indicators of physical develop ment and coordination of movements. With age significantly increased physical performance of school children: it was increasing in flexib ility, in improving speed of visual-motor reaction.

“…As we demonstrate below, we do this because the data we use in the study presents a patient’s reflection of the received cues to action. We also have data on the individual awareness of the preventive check-up program offered free of charge to the Russian population in the public healthcare sector (called “dispanserisation”), 30 which could be a potential trigger for taking part in the check-ups. Second, as prior research demonstrated, in the context of CVD, the same set of predictors characterizes the models for the perceived threat and benefits components.…”

Purpose Despite much attention within the literature, the multiple risk factors associated with CVD mortality in Russia are still not fully understood. Drawing on the Health Belief Model as a theoretical framework, we aim to elicit socioeconomic and behavioral determinants of cardiovascular risks in Russian men and women. Methods Using the Know Your Heart project data, we utilize regression analysis and then structural equation modeling (latent class analysis and mediation analysis) to study the determinants of CVD risks. Results OLS and ordered logit regressions show that the key factors defining cardiovascular health behaviors in Russia are health-related actions to reduce the perceived threat of diseases (physical activity and GP visits), perceived barriers to behavioral change (financial constraints), and cues to action (awareness of the federal health check-up program). The latent class analysis further identifies three distinct groups of the population with different CVD risk levels. Over one-third of respondents belong to the “high CVD risk” class characterized by the highest share of smokers and alcohol abusers who evade contact with primary care and face financial constraints. In the mediation analysis, we find that employment mediates the relationship between physical activity and CVD risks: physically active individuals have a greater chance of employment, and employment further mitigates CVD risks. We also find an indication of the selection of the healthy into employment in the causal relationship between GP visits, having a job, and CVD risks. Conclusion A corresponding set of policy actions stem from these findings. These include reinforcing the change of perceptions of CVD risks and lowering barriers to health care; raising awareness of the free preventive check-up program in the “high CVD risk” group; making sports and exercise accessible to the elderly; and using off-putting labels on alcohol products as behavioral nudges among “physically active but drinking” males.
