Despite on decline in number of men with two or three risk factors, there is a tendency to increase the number of men with one and four risk factors and thereby increasing themorbidity of coronary heart disease by 0,2% (from 7,1% in 2001 to 7,3 % – in 2011) and arterial hypertension – by 5,4% (from 18,0% in 2001 to 23,4% – in 2011).
