“…Consistent with the presence of genetic risk factors, the risk of heart disease is increased among people who have relatives with heart disease ( Shinji et al, 2018 ). In Russia, arterial hypertension was diagnosed in 41% of all working people (predominantly I degree), more frequently observed in the obese (62.5%) and in males (45%) ( Belyakova et al, 2021 ).…”

Heart diseases are the most common non-communicable diseases worldwide. We examined the prevalence of risk factors for heart disease among a sub-population of working men. In total, 11,059 railway crew workers of the Russian Railways Company were included in the study. We also asked participants to answer several questions based on the WHO STEPwise approach to surveillance (STEPS) translated into Russian. Only 30% of drivers had normal body mass index (BMI), whereas 70% were overweight or obese. In 12% of subjects, total cholesterol was higher than 5 mmol/L. In 15% of participants, glucose level was higher than 5.5 mmol/L. 38% of drivers reported smoking. Physical inactivity was registered in 54% of persons. Only 29% ate according to the key principles of good diet quality. 24% of respondents had a family history of heart disease. MANOVA demonstrated that BMI was determined by age, profession, smoking, physical inactivity, and diet quality. As age increased, the number of people with normal cholesterol levels decreased. It was demonstrated that a correlation existed between glucose levels and BMI. In the total group, the correlation was 0.46 ( p < .05). The correlation between those parameters increased due to age, from 0.33 in the <30 years of age group up to 0.52 in the >50 years of age group. This study demonstrated that there is a high prevalence of risk factors for heart disease in train drivers in the Russian Federation.

Based on data from the 2021 Sample Population Health Survey, the paper assesses the prevalence and socio-demographic and behavioral risk factors of pre-obesity and obesity among the adult population of Russia. A standard approach for epidemiological studies was used: body weight was assessed using the Body Mass Index (BMI). The influence of risk factors was determined by logistic regressions. It was revealed that the average BMI value among men is 26.9 kg/m2 and among women - 26.8 kg/m2. At the age of 18 and over, 67.2% of men and 57.9% of women are overweight, and 19.5% of men and 24.9% of women are obese. The prevalence of overweight and obesity increases with age but decreases after age 75. There is a relationship between pre-obesity and eating habits of men and women: frequent consumption of foods high in salt, sausage and meat products, and sweets. Obesity in men is associated with the same factors as pre-obesity. Among women, the consumption of sweets and smoked meat products ceases to have a significant effect on the likelihood of obesity. A comparison of our results with the results of previous studies makes it possible to conclude that there is no significant change in the prevalence of overweight and obesity among Russians. A sustainable influence of behavioral and eating habits allows us to conclude that it is necessary to conduct a state awareness campaign about components of a healthy lifestyle and develop measures to increase commitment to physical education, sports, and healthy eating among the population.
