Analysis of age and gender characteristics of the prevalence of psychosocial risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in a metropolis and a large city in Western Siberia

This study aimed to compare the prevalence of psychosocial risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) among adults aged 25–64 in the largest metropolis (Novosibirsk) and a large city (Tyumen) in Western Siberia. Material and methods Representative samples of adults aged 25–64 from Novosibirsk (metropolis) and Tyumen (large city) were examined between 2010–2013 and 2015–2017. Psychosocial factors, including personal anxiety (PA), vital exhaustion (VE), and depression (D), were assessed using standardized methods from the WHO MONICA-psychosocial program protocol. Results. In the Siberian metropolis, higher prevalence rates of elevated PA and D were observed compared to the large city: in men in younger age groups (25–34 years for D; 35–44 years for PA and D); in women in extreme age groups (25–34 and 55–64 years for D). Conversely, the large city showed higher prevalence rates for certain psychosocial factors: in men in older age group (55–64 years for D). and in women in younger (25–34 years for VE) and middle-aged (45–54 years for PA) groups. Conclusions. Significant differences in the prevalence of psychosocial CVD risk factors were identified across age categories in urban populations of Western Siberia. These findings underscore the importance of tailoring preventive programs to address age- and location-specific risk profiles in Siberian cities.
