[Socio-hygiene examination of male middle-aged population in connection with primary prevention of ischemic heart disease].

The presented results are based on an analysis of a socio-medical examination of males born in 1922-1931 comprising a 5% randomization from the population of this age group in one of the Moscow districts. 30.2% of the males volunteered their participation in the possible prophylactic measures, but only 20.3% were willing to participate in drug preventive therapy. The obtained data indicate that the examined population group was insufficiently prepared for preventive measures against cardiovascular pathology, and that extended differentiated health education programs are needed.
