东欧正在经历心血管疾病的流行，其发病率远远超过西欧。这种流行病的前兆是高血压发病率急剧上升。中亚的前苏联国家可能正面临类似的流行病。为了了解这一威胁，我们对在中亚吉尔吉斯斯坦的两个村庄进行人道主义医疗访问期间产生的数据进行了回顾性分析。年龄调整后的高血压患病率为39%。高血压在男性中比女性更常见（分别为46%和33%）。此外，随着年龄的增长，血压的上升幅度惊人，超过了西方国家。这种高血压的流行可能预示着中亚心血管疾病即将流行。
Eastern Europe is experiencing an epidemic of cardiovascular disease far outpacing rates in Western Europe. This epidemic was heralded by a precipitous rise in hypertension prevalence. The former Soviet states of Central Asia may be facing a similar epidemic. In order to access this threat, we performed a retrospective analysis of data generated during humanitarian medical visits to two villages in Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia. The age-adjusted prevalence of hypertension was 39%. Hypertension was much more common among men than women (46 vs 33%, respectively). In addition, the rise in blood pressure with age was striking, surpassing the experience in Western countries. This epidemic of hypertension may herald a coming epidemic of cardiovascular disease in Central Asia.
