Abstract
PURPOSE: To test and compare the relative prevalence of primary vascular dysregulation (PVD) symptoms in randomly selected population group in Russia.
METHODS: Subjects of randomly selected population group of Moscow and Moscow region filled out a questionnaire containing 15 questions related to signs and symptoms of primary vascular dysregulation (159 people: 90 male; 69 female).
RESULTS: In Russian population the most frequent symptoms are the following: low blood pressure; reduced sense of thirst; increased sense of smell; a tendency toward perfectionism; a long sleep onset time. From the literature we know that predominant symptoms differed in Russian population from those in Korean and Swiss populations (depending on geographical area).
CONCLUSION: Data on PVD signs and symptoms prevalence in Russia and was obtained. The relative frequency of different PVD signs and symptoms in randomly selected average population varies between different countries. Therefore; if the diagnosis of PVD is based on patients’ self-reported signs and symptoms; they should be compared to general prevalence of signs and symptoms in relevant population.
