Overview

High CAS prevalence in Russian men may inform sex-specific risk assessment; cross-sectional data leaves open causal and outcome implications.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Random sample of spontaneous population aged 25-64 years in an urbanized city of Western Siberia (Tomsk, Russia)
I
Intervention
Screening ultrasound examination
O
Outcome
Prevalence of carotid atherosclerosis (CAS)surrogate

Carotid atherosclerosis is highly prevalent in the Russian population aged 25-64, particularly in men, highlighting the need for early risk factor modification.
