In Kazakhstan, as in all other regions, there is a rejuvenation of this group of diseases, that may be associated with an increase of risk factors in the population.
Materials and methods. We carried out a cross-sectional study of 729 school aged adolescents of the East Kazakhstan region on the prevalence of risk factors such as overweight and adherence to unhealthy diet. Anthropometric assessment of overweight and obesity by body mass index, the thickness of the subcapsular and triceps skin fold in study participants was conducted in accordance with the standards developed by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC, USA). Assessment of potential risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, such as unhealthy diet, made on the basis of the WHO report, of the European initiatives for obesity surveillance in childhood (Childhood Obesity Surveillance Initiative).
Results. The study revealed that 13.99% of girls and 11.25% of boys are overweight or obese, while one in four overweighted adolescent from financially secure families (25.7%). Risk Factor "unhealthy diet" among teenagers the East Kazakhstan Region distributed from 37% to 86.5%, more than 52.8% of the respondents consume fast food more than 3 days a week.
Conclusions. The prevalence of obesity risk factors and as a consequence of the possible development of CVD is high, regardless of gender, rural or urban areas, as well as family income. Joining of Kazakhstan to the European project initiatives for obesity surveillance in childhood is an important initiative for the public health of the republic to strength the health of future generations.
