Cardiovascular risk factors have been studied and total cholesterol levels have been evaluated in 491 girls from the centre of the city of Ufa and in 441 girls from the suburbs of Ufa in accordance with Russian recommendations on heart disease prevention in children and adolescents. It was found out, that the adolescent girls, living in the centre of Ufa, had statistically more prevalent and prominent main factors of cardiovascular risk (smoking, overweight, hypodynamia, psychoemotional stress) in comparison with the adolescent girls, living in the suburbs of Ufa. Still, adolescent girls with CVD-burdened family history are met with equal frequency both in the center and in the suburbs. 15-year-old girls with normal, higher and high TC level are met with equal frequency both in the center and in the suburbs. In addition, the number of girls aged 15-17 from the suburbs of Ufa with higher TC statistically significantly (p<0,001) increases, while the number of girls with its high level does not change. In the center of Ufa, the number of girls with both higher and high TC statistically significantly (p<0,05) grows for this period. Adolescent girls with CVD-burdened family history living in the centre of Ufa are more subject to increase in TC, which makes it necessary to carry out preventative measures among them.
