The results of investigations suggest that there is a higher level of chronic noncommunicable diseases (CNCD) in mid-level medical staff than in the general population. However, these investigations of the prevalence of risk factors for CNCD have been conducted with small samples and have not taken into account the residence and gender of a medical worker. Objective: to establish the rate and structure of risk factors for CNCD in the mid-level medical workers of the Tomsk Region. Material and methods. A questionnaire designed according to the guidelines «Monitoring CHCD Risk Factors in Practical Public Health» was used. The questionnaire was provided in electronic form and available at the website http://www.golosaonline.ru/medto. Results. The nurses of the Tomsk Region were found to have a high prevalence of CNCD risk factors, such as imbalanced diet and low physical activity, as well as overweight and hypercholesterolemia. These risk factors are more common in the urban area rather than in the rural one. Conclusion. The results of the investigation have demonstrated that there is a need to elaborate practical guidelines for health care workers to eliminate individual risk factors for CNCD.
