Abstract
The article discusses the role of epidemiological studies in the development of preventive programs through the example of the ESSE-RF study. The most interesting and sometimes unexpected research results are discussed. There is an increase in the prevalence of hypertension and obesity, a decrease in the prevalence of smoking, and an extremely high cardiovascular risk. In conclusion, it is noted that the results do provide an opportunity to assess the population health and the priorities of targeted prevention, which is the most effective. Thus, Galen’s statement is confirmed: “Qui bene diagnoscit — bene curat”.
