https://doi.org/10.25789/YMJ.2019.66.23

Abstract

In the expeditionary conditions in the North of Yakutia, representatives of the indigenous population (Evenks, Dolgan, Evens, Yukagirs, Chukchi, Yakuts) were examined in order to identify overweight and obesity. Overweight in terms of BMI ranged from 27.1% in Dolgans to 37.8% in Yakuts, and there were no significant differences, more often it was observed in men. Obesity was significantly more common in the Evenks compared with the Evens, the Yukagirs and the Chukchi, the Yakuts compared with the Evens and the Chukchi, and the Dolgans compared with the Chukchi. Women suffered most often. The mean values of systolic blood pressure in Evenks and Yakuts were higher compared to other ethnic groups. There was a high frequency of hypertension in all ethnic groups. A strong positive correlation of BMI with the level of systolic blood pressure was revealed.
