In 125 females with arterial hypertension (AH) and 30 females with normal blood pressure (BP), from reproductive-age group (29-46years), cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor prevalence was investigated. In AH patients, comparing to normotensive females, such CVD risk factor as salt consumption, gestosis in anamnesis, CVD in family history (FH) were more prevalent. In examined cohort, BP level significantly correlated with age and AH duration, anthropometry parameters and total cholesterol level. Significant AH predictors (p<0. 05) were AH duration, gestosis in anamnesis, AH in FH, and waist to hips circumference ratio. In reproductive-age women, active prevention of gestosis, that plays a role in AH pathogenesis, is necessary.
