FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to preventive medicine, and aims at detecting young individuals suffering from a high risk of cardiovascular diseases for the timely correction. The individuals are presented with a questionnaire to detect major risk factors of the cardiovascular diseases in accordance with the National Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Guidelines. The questionnaire results are appraised by points: if observing psychological stress 3.01-4 for males and 2.83-4 for females, 0 points are assigned; 2.01-3 for males and 1.83-2.82 for females, 1 point is assigned; 2 and less for males and 1.82 and less for females, 2 points are assigned; if the respondent doesn't smoke, 0 points are assigned; if he/she smokes less than 1 cigarette a day, 1 point is assigned; smoking 1 and more cigarettes a day implies assigning 2 points; if the patient intakes ethanol in an amount of 13.7 g a day and less, 0 points are assigned; an intake of ethanol in an amount of 13.8 g to 27.4 g a day and less enables assigning 1 point; using ethanol 27.5 g and more requires assigning 2 points; if blood pressure is less than 129/84 mm Hg, 0 point is assigned; if the blood pressure value falls within the range of 130-139/85-89 mm Hg, 1 point is assigned, and 2 points are assigned, if the blood pressure value is 140/90 mm Hg or more; if a body weight index is 24.9 kg/m² and less, 0 points are assigned; if the range is 25-29.9 kg/m², 1 point is assigned; the value of 30 kg/m² provides assigning 2 points; if the physical activity is accompanied by energy burning of 3 MET/min and more over six late months and more, 0 points are assigned; the physical activity accompanied by energy burning of 3 MET/min under six late months, 1 point is assigned; if the physical activity is accompanied by energy burning of less than 3 MET/min, 2 points are assigned; if the individual consumes more than 500 g of vegetables and fruit a day, 0 point is assigned; consuming less than 500 g provides assigning 1 point, and if a daily ratio contains no fruit and vegetables, 2 points are assigned; if a rest heart rate is 50 to 69 beats per minute, 0 points are assigned; the heart rate falling within the range of 70 to 79 beats per minute provides assigning 1 point, and the heart rate of 80 beats per minute and more ensures assigning 2 points; a negative past medical history of the cardiovascular diseases with manifested ischemic heart disease or cardiovascular diseases in the male relatives in the first degree aged 55 years old or less and in the female relatives in the first degree aged 65 years old or less shows assigning 0 point, while a positive past medical history of the cardiovascular diseases makes it possible to assign 1 point.
