Abstract

Hypertension is of interest for many Siberian researchers. Given the climatic, geographical, socio-economic, and ethnic characteristics of the population living in Siberia, addressing this problem has been one of the main goals of large epidemiological studies for several decades. This article discusses the main results of the epidemiological studies conducted in the Siberian Federal District on the prevalence of hypertension and its risk factors.
