Material and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of thehealth Center of the Saratov city polyclinic №17. For 2013-2017 surveyed 50301 patient of working age. The plan of the survey included the collection of anamnesis to identify risk factors for cardiovascular disease, physical examination with the implementation of anthropometry (determination of growth, calculation of body mass index), measurement of blood pressure, determination of total cholesterol and glucose in capillary blood. The total risk of fatal cardiovascular complications was assessed on the SCORE scale. Portable peripheral Doppler analyzer Smart Dop 30 EX with automatic measurement of systolic blood pressure and calculation of ankle-brachial index was used for angiological screening.

A decrease in the number of smokers since 2013 by more than 1.5 times: from 12.9 to 7.5%. The incidence of hypertension increased from 29.1 to 41.7%. Conclusion. It was found that more than 70% of patients who applied had risk factors for major chronic noncommunicable diseases. Overweight and obesity, irrational nutrition, low physical activity were detected in more than 50% of cases; hypercholesterolemia was determined in 45% of cases, hyperglycemia in 25%. Over the past 5 years, the incidence of hypertension among patients of working age has increased, primarily due to improved detection.
