Несмотря на множество нерешенных вопросов по половым и гендерным особенностям сердечно-сосудистого здоровья, накоплен значительный материал, позволяющий обобщать глобальные, национальные, этнические и социальные закономерности. Отечественные исследования немногочисленны и не всегда представлены на высоком доказательном уровне, что требует продолжения научного поиска в данном направлении. Между тем, в зарубежной литературе изучению половых и гендерных особенностей отводится важное место. Целью данного обзора является освещение половых и гендерных особенностей распространенности основных факторов сердечно-сосудистого риска по литературным данным. В статье показаны половые и гендерные тренды распространенности основных детерминантов сердечно-сосудистого здоровья. Можно предположить, что сердечно-сосудистый континуум имеет половую ориентацию и запускается у мужчин и женщин «своими» факторами сердечно-сосудистого риска. Развитие данного направления поможет сформировать пол-ориентированную стратегию профилактики и лечения для прогнозирования и ограничения неблагоприятных исходов в конкретном регионе страны.

 

Despite the many unresolved issues on gender characteristics of cardiovascular health, accumulated data allows to generalize global, national, ethnic, and social patterns. There are small deal of domestic studies that not always presented at a high evidentiary level. Meanwhile, in foreign literature, the study of gender characteristics is given an important place. The purpose of this review is to highlight the gender characteristics of the prevalence of the main cardiovascular risk factors according to literature data. The article shows the gender trends in the prevalence of the main determinants of cardiovascular health. It can be assumed that the cardiovascular continuum has a gender orientation and is triggered by men and women with “its own” cardiovascular risk factors. The development of this direction will help to form a gender-based prevention and treatment strategy to predict and limit adverse outcomes in a particular region of the country.
