Introduction. Timely detection and prevention of vascular disorders in 80-90% of cases lead to the disappearance or significant reduction of many manifestations and the restoration of the adaptive capabilities of the body of middle-aged women.
The purpose of the study is to analyze the questionnaire and assess the degree of risk of developing cardio-vascular diseases in middle-aged women using the method of A.Z. Zapesochny, as well as the components of the questionnaire in order to further create a correctional and health program.
Research methods: an analysis of 79 questionnaires of women who were undergoing sanatorium and resort treatment at the State Enterprise “Clinical Sanatorium “Roscha”” was conducted. The questionnaire was conducted using the method of Zapesochny A.Z. “Assessment of the risk of cardiovascular diseases”, according to which nine indicators are taken into account: age, gender, height, body weight, hereditary factors, bad habits, blood pressure, physical activity. Objective indicators – pulse, blood pressure and body weight – are measured, the results are evaluated in points.
Results. The data from the questionnaire of women in Gr.1 (n=36) and Gr.2 (n=43) indicated that: all women are in a significant state of neuro-emotional stress. Only 14% of women in Gr. and 16% of women in Gr.2 do not have such a risk factor as heredity. Of the two groups, only 9 women in Gr.1 adhere to proper nutrition; 25% of women in Gr.1 and 39% of women in Gr.2 do not monitor their nutrition at all. However, 72% of respondents in Gr.1 and 67% of Gr.2 are overweight. In Gr.1 women aged 35-39 years, the minimum level of risk was found in 47% of people, and in Gr.2 women aged 40-46 years, it was observed in only 16% of respondents.
Conclusions. Over the years, women are less likely to adhere to proper nutrition, their body weight increases and the level of physical activity decreases, and their risk of developing cardiovascular diseases increases.
