“…The situation is similar in other countries [1,2]. Results of Russian studies on the prevalence of CVRF [32][33][34] are difficult to compare the cardiovascular health status assessment. Assessment of trends of cardiovascular health in population (or cohort) by dynamics of separate risk factors is also difficult and not effective.…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare different methods of health status assessment in organized cohort of penitentiary employees in Saratov Region, Russian Federation. Materials and Methods: 1,014 penitentiary employees (81.8% male) aged 33.4±6.8 years were included in the cohort study. All participants underwent an annual preventive health examination in the Center of Medical and Social Rehabilitation of Russian Federal Penitentiary Service in Saratov Region. The prevalence of common cardiovascular risk factors was assessed. Risk Score and the number of fulfilled health metrics proposed by American Heart Association (AHA) were calculated for each participant. Results: It is shown that penitentiary staff in Saratov Region is characterized by low current risk score (1.2±0.8%), but high prevalence of such risk factors as increased body weight and obesity (51%), tobacco use or passive smoking (81%), and unhealthy diet (55%). 98.4% of participants had the Score level of ≤5%, but only 4.5% of penitentiary staff met the ideal cardiovascular health (they met all seven AHA health metrics). One fifth of the participants met three or less AHA health metrics. A statistically significant correlation between the risk Score and the number of fulfilled AHA health metrics is revealed (Chi-square = 5.1, p=0.024). The probability of fulfilment of less than 5 AHA health metrics in subjects with medium risk score is shown to be almost twofold greater than in subjects with low risk Score. However, there are a lot of differences in the assessment of cardiovascular health by risk Score and AHA health metrics. (%1,2±0,8) düşük olmakla birlikte, artan vücut ağırlığı ve obezite (%51), tütün kullanımı ya da pasif sigara (%81) ve sağlıksız beslenme (%55) gibi risk faktörlerinin yüksek prevalans ile karakterize olduğu gösterilmiştir. Katılımcıların %98,4'inin skoru %≤5 seviyesindeydi, ama cezaevi personelinin sadece %4,5'i (hepsi yedi AHA sağlık ölçeği ile uyumlu) ideal kalp sağlığı kriterlerine uymaktaydı. Katılımcıların beşte biri, üç veya daha az AHA sağlık ölçütlerine uymaktaydı. Risk puanı ve uyulan AHA sağlık ölçeği sayısı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki (Ki-kare=5,1, p=0,024) ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Orta risk puanı olan kişilerde 5'ten az AHA sağlık ölçeğinin yerine getirilmesi olasılığının, düşük risk puanlı kişilerden neredeyse iki kat daha fazla olduğu gösterilmiş-tir. Ancak, kalp ve damar sağlığı değerlendirilmesinde risk puanı ve AHA sağlık ölçekleri arasında bir çok farklılık bulunmaktadır. Sonuç: Saratov Bölgesi cezaevi personeli gibi organize kohortlarda düşük kardiyovasküler risklerin önleyici yönetiminde AHA sağlık ölçeğinin kullanımı risk faktörlerinin ayrı ayrı değerlendiril-mesi ve risk skorlarına göre daha çok tercih edilebilir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Risk faktörleri, kardiyovasküler risk, sağlık ölçekleri, ceza infaz hizmeti Conclusion

Objectives to evaluate the possibility of organizing a preventive care service in a modern fitness center through the analysis of visitor's motivation to attend the center. Material and methods. The visitors of three large fitness centers filled in a questionnaire, the results of the survey were further processed using cluster analysis. Results. In 43.11.6% of cases, the main motive for visiting a fitness center was improving health. The goal of "prevention and treatment of diseases" was chosen by 23.41.4% of visitors. A motive for weight reduction was registered in 29.41.5% of cases. Visitors' ranking of the goals to attend a fitness center showed that in most cases they consider improving health (5.79 points) to be the most important task, in second place keeping fit (5.69 points). Cluster analysis allowed us to divide visitors into 8 groups, the three largest groups can be the target audience for the prevention of noncommunicable socially significant diseases. Conclusion. Some categories of fitness center visitors can be the essential target segment for emphasizing preventive activities against non-infectious socially significant diseases.
