- The experience of premedical consultation in mobile medical units (MMU) in some commercial centers in Tver city was described. The performed prophylactic examination and consultation demonstrated high efficacy of detection both traditional risk factors (RF) (obesity, arterial hypertension (AH), hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia) and AH and daily (postprandial) hyperglycemia which were not diagnosed earlier. In the course of such consultations one might obtain rather important information upon following earlier administered medicinal therapy. It was found that for the last two weeks 75 % patients with AH only took hypotensive preparations, 19,4 % patients with myocardial ischemia and cerebrovascular diseases only took hypolipidemic medicinal preparations. Thus premedical prophylactic consultation among the people at large both was not only claimed by population and allowed to reveal patients with risk factors for chronic non-infectious diseases (CNID) effectively and to control the efficacy of their secondary prophylaxis partly.
