RESUMEN
In 1977 in the cooperating centres (Moscow, Budapest, Berlin, Habana) 17,628 schoolchildren born in 1964, were examined, and a group was distinguished with increased BP (1862 children) and 10% random samples of the examined schoolchildren with normal BP. All the parents of the examined schoolchildren, including grandparents, were mailed questionnaire which concerned the family anamnesis, in particular, cases of cardiovascular diseases. The mailed questionnaires were answered by 74% of parents which permits one to judge about a high authenticity of the obtained results. The analysis of the results obtained by that questionnaire affirmed a higher incidence of cardiovascular diseases found in relatives of the children with increased BP than in relatives of the children with normal BP.

Epidemiological study of atherosclerosis precursors in schoolchildren whose ages ranged from 10 to 15 was undertaken in 1977; 2 296 schoolchildren have been screened. The follow-up groups were formed according to the following factors: high arterial blood pressure, overweight and obesity, low physical activity, smoking. Analysis of the data showed the distribution of the precursors of atherosclerosis to be as follows: 47.4% of boys and 42.2% of girls had no precursors: 34.3% of boys and 42.2% of girls had one precursor; 14.1% of boys and 13.8% of girls had two precursors, and 4.2% of boys and 4.9% of girls had three precursors. To lower the incidence of the precursors of atherosclerosis special attention should be paid to the children with such precursors.
