Republic of Karelia, Russia
Background: In Russia, cardiovascular mortality is among the highest in the world. Behaviours related to the development of cardiovascular disease are usually adopted in childhood and adolescence. Very little information exists on prevalence and trends of risk factors among Russian youth. This study...

Behaviours related to the development of cardiovascular disease are usually adopted in childhood and adolescence.

This study aims to investigate changes in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors among adolescents in the Republic of Karelia, Russia, from 1995 to 2004. Methods: Cross-sectional surveys on chronic disease risk factors were carried out among 15-year-old adolescents in Pitkäranta region, in the Republic of Karelia. The surveys were conducted in all 10 secondary schools in the Pitkäranta region. All ninth-grade students in 1995 (N 385, response rate 95%) and in 2004 (N 395, response rate 85%) were included in the survey samples.

Diastolic blood pressure decreased statistically significantly among both girls (from 64 to 59 mmHg) and boys (from 62 to 59 mmHg).
