| Summary Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. About 80% of the global burden of CVD-related deaths occurs in low- and middle-income countries. The disease burden in Kyrgyzstan shows a similar picture as CVD is responsible for the largest share of morbidity and mortality and is responsible for more than half (54%) of the overall mortality (2003)1 . It is particularly concerning from an economic and social perspective that for the last ten years, the CVD disease burden has been increasingly shifting to younger age groups. The mortality rate from the CVD among 30-39 year old population increased from 47.4 per 100,000 in 1991 to 56.1 in 2006, an 18.3% increase. Similar tendency is traced among the age group of 40-49 and 50-59 years old. As a result of the worsening cardiovascular health of working age adults, families are losing their breadwinners due to death and early disability. CVD is the primary reason for early disablement in the adult population, amounting to 17.4% and exceeding similar indices for other diseases2 |
