    Abstract:
    For the first time in mass studied of populations the author applied a REG method for the assessment of different risk factors in cerebrovascular disorders. REG changes were studied in 1446 individuals (males from 40-59 years and females from 50-59 years) living in 2 districts of Moscow in relation to the influence of age, sex, arterial hypertension, smoking, excessive weight and hypercholesterolemia. A certain specificity of changes depending upon the acting factors was established. The highest REG changes were connected with advent of age, arterial hypertension and smoking. The achieved results make it possible to recommend REG for use in epidemiological studies. This method may also facilitate a detection of pathological changes in the brain due to the action of unfavourable factors.
