“…It was estimated that other 1.7 million people were unaware of their disease. The annual increase in morbidity was 3.7%, which is associated with Poles' lifestyle, overweight [15], a low level of physical activity [16], changes in the demographic structure [17], as well as a lack of preventive knowledge or no concern for their own health [18].…”

Objectives:The main aim of this work is to assess the level of knowledge about diabetes prevention and the consequences of untreated diabetes in the Polish society, as well as to indicate the variables that have a significant impact on that knowledge. Material and Methods: The analysis is based on the results of the National Multicenter Health Survey -WOBASZ II. The number of subjects surveyed was 6170, including 2760 men and 3410 women, aged 20-74 years. Data on socio-demographic variables, lifestyle and subjective health assessment were collected using the face-to-face technique. Results: The results obtained in the WOBASZ II project showed that >85% of the respondents had an unsatisfactory level of knowledge about

“…In this study important relationship between educational background and arterial hypertension was demonstrated, that confirm previous reports about the increased prevalence of cardiovascular diseases among low educated people. It was proven that low education background is connected with increased cardiovascular risk, higher prevalence of diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia [8], obesity and arterial hypertension [1,[8][9][10][11][12].…”

Background. Identification and analysis of risk factors are important aspects of planning the long-term actions to prevent, early diagnose and properly treat hypertension. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of hypertension and to determine the relationship between the prevalence of hypertension and selected sociodemographic factors among adult residents of a typical eastern Poland district. Material and methods. The study involved 1225 residents of the Janów Lubelski district aged between 36 and 65 years. The research methodology included a questionnaire survey. Blood pressure, body weight and height were measured, the BMI was calculated. Statistical analysis was performed. Results. 26.8% of subjects are treated for hypertension. 32.9% of hypertensive subjects are treated properly and women have better control of hypertension than man (41.3% vs. 19.7%). Among subjects without treatment for hypertension, 37.5% of them have abnormally high blood pressure and it is more common in men (58.9% vs. 43.4%). The prevalence of hypertension increased with age. The percentages are from 8.6% for subjects aged 36-40 to 45.7% for subjects aged 61-65. Higher prevalence of hypertension is observed in men below the age of 50 compared to women. There is the significant rising prevalence of hypertension in women above the age of 50. The relationship between the prevalence of hypertension and the educational background is demonstrated. Among subjects with elementary education, the prevalence of hypertension is higher (45.5%) as compared to subjects with higher education (18.2%). Area of residence and marital status have no effects on the prevalence of hypertension. Conclusions. The prevalence of hypertension was lower compared to other epidemiological studies. Improvements in hypertension control have been observed for many years. The educational background has an important influence on the prevalence of hypertension. Further studies are required to establish the influence of an area of residence and marital status on the prevalence of hypertension.

“…A growth rate this high makes diabetes mellitus one of the most significant health challenges of the 21st century, with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) being the fastest growing chronic disorder worldwide ( 25 ). Type 2 diabetes is characterized by persistent hyperglycaemia ( 26 ) and can be attributed to multifactorial integrating factors such as genetics ( 27 ), age, socioeconomic status, education ( 28 ), as well as, modifiable risk factors including diet ( 29 ), smoking ( 30 ), and levels of physical activity ( 31 ).…”

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is the most common cause of dementia. Over a third of dementia cases are estimated to be due to potentially modifiable risk factors, thus offering opportunities for both identification of those most likely to be in early disease as well as secondary prevention. Diabetes, hypertension and chronic kidney failure have all been linked to increased risk for AD and dementia and through their high prevalence are particularly apt targets for initiatives to reduce burden of AD. This can take place through targeted interventions of cardiovascular risk factors (shown to improve cognitive outcomes) or novel disease modifying treatments in people with confirmed AD pathology. The success of this approach to secondary prevention depends on the availability of inexpensive and scalable methods for detecting preclinical and prodromal dementia states. Developments in blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease are rapidly becoming a viable such method for monitoring large at-risk groups. In addition, digital technologies for remote monitoring of cognitive and behavioral changes can add clinically relevant data to further improve personalisation of prevention strategies. This review sets the scene for this approach to secondary care of dementia through a review of the evidence for cardiovascular risk factors (diabetes, hypertension and chronic kidney disease) as major risk factors for AD. We then summarize the developments in blood-based and cognitive biomarkers that allow the detection of pathological states at the earliest possible stage. We propose that at-risk cohorts should be created based on the interaction between cardiovascular and constitutional risk factors. These cohorts can then be monitored effectively using a combination of blood-based biomarkers and digital technologies. We argue that this strategy allows for both risk factor reduction-based prevention programmes as well as for optimisation of any benefits offered by current and future disease modifying treatment through rapid identification of individuals most likely to benefit from them.
