    Abstract:
    AIM: To investigate sex- and age-specific characteristics of arterial hypertension prevalence in type 2 diabetics with obesity. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sex- and age-specific features of hypertension prevalence were studied in 6177 (1345 males and 4832 females) type 2 diabetic obese citizens of the Novgorod region. RESULTS: The highest incidence of mild hypertension was found in obesity degrees I and II (50-68%). Prevalence of moderate and severe hypertension reached 20-31 and 4-5%, respectively, in obesity of degree I and II, 15% in males and 11% in females in obesity degree III. CONCLUSION: In type 2 DM obese patients mild hypertension occurs most frequently. Severe hypertension develops often in males with obesity degree II and III in age groups 50-59 and 60-69 years, in females--in any obesity at the age of 70 and older.
