Objective — to determine the prevalence of chronic venous disease (CVD), its signs and symptoms, complications, and risk factors in the general population. Material and methods. We conducted a cross-sectional population-based study of prevalence of CVD among residents of rural community aged 10 years and older. We collected demographical data and medical history, performed clinical and ultrasound examinations. Results. There were 783 subjects surveyed (women 62%, men 38%), which accounted for 88% of the total number of community residents. The age of patients ranged from 10 to 92 years (average 49.3). The mean body mass index was 26 kg/m2. 98.7% of the examined inhabitants belonged to the Slavic ethnic group. CVD was found in 489 (62.4%) of participants. The prevalence of primary varicose veins was 26.2%, reticular veins and telangiectasias — 29.9%, post-thrombotic syndrome — 1.3%, functional venous insufficiency (phlebopathy) — 5%, venous dysplasia — 0.1%. 593 (75.7%) inhabitants had risk factors for CVD in different combinations. Pathological venous reflux in the superficial and perforating veins was observed in 217 (27.7%) cases. Venous edema and trophic disorders, i.e., chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), were found in 7.4% of cases. Venous trophic ulcer was found in one (0.13%) patient. 33.1% of residents of the rural settlement have complained of pain, heaviness, fatigue, and other symptoms of venous origin. Conclusion. CVD was detected among the majority of the surveyed residents of the rural community. The overall prevalence of CVD, the incidence of subjective symptoms, and complications of venous disease was lower than the data known from the literature.
