ACOFC — 50,1%,  ESC — 41,0%,  ESuC — 39,2%,  NVFC — 35,2%. Among men more common were NVFC, ESC, ACOFC, among women — ESuC (р<0,0001). Prevalence of UD increased with age (р<0,0001) and was maximal in >65 y.o. (75%). Education level increase led to decrease of those with UD, 69,3% among low professional education,  40,5% — with professional  and  28,2%  — among  those  with higher  education (р<0,0001).  Among persons  with UD there was hypertension found in 71,6% of participants,  ischemic heart disease  — in 30,4%, diabetes  2 type — in 16,7%, cerebrovascular diseases — in 20,7%; overweight — in 19,2%, obesity — in 70,8%, hypercholesterolemia  — in 66,0%, hyperglycemia — in 21,2%.Conclusion.
