[Arterial hypertension: its prevalence, risk factors and the priority trends in its prevention].

All male population aged 40-59 years (n = 7413) of small towns of Lithuania underwent an epidemiological survey. Of these, 5204 persons (70.2% of the group) responded. The prevalence of arterial hypertension was determined (32.7%) as was its relation to three risk factors and five sociodemographic parameters. A more pronounced positive correlation was established between the incidence of arterial hypertension and overweight, a pronounced one between AH and alcohol use and tobacco-smoking giving up, and a partial one between AH and educational level, official standing, and salary. Recommendations as to prevention of and priority trends in further studies into arterial hypertension are under discussion.

[Determination of stages in the course of chronic diseases].

A schematic conception of staged development of chronic bronchitis and a clinical-mathematical model of the diseases staging have been proposed. The study involved two samples of population: 5204 males aged 40-59 from small towns of the Lithuanian SSR and 1012 residents of the industrial city of Kaunas. It was established that various stages of the disease among which stage II predominated had different incidence rates. Long-term results of the stage-differentiated prophylaxis have furnished evidence for its effectiveness. This principle of stage-distributed therapeutic measures can be adopted for management of other affections.
