Aim. Atherosclerosis of the carotid artery basin is a key pathogenic factor in ischemic stroke. In the context of a lack of local epidemiological data, studying the prevalence of lesions and associated risk factors in the Republic of Uzbekistan is of particular importance. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of atherosclerotic lesions in the carotid arteries, identify associated risk factors, and perform cardiovascular risk stratification using the SCORE scale among the adult population of Uzbekistan, taking into account gender, age, and regional characteristics. Materials and Methods. A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted at the Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Medical Center of Cardiology (Tashkent). The analysis included data from 6,425 adult patients who underwent ultrasound duplex scanning of the carotid arteries. Demographic indicators, blood pressure levels, lipid profile, smoking status, presence of arterial hypertension (AH), and 10-year cardiovascular risk according to the SCORE scale were assessed. For statistical analysis, univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used. Results. Atherosclerotic lesions of the carotid arteries were significantly more frequently detected in men over 50 years of age (p<0.05). The strongest correlation was found with arterial hypertension (r=0.85; p<0.001). Smoking and elevated systolic blood pressure showed a moderate association with plaque presence (p<0.01). Mean SCORE values in certain regions (Samarkand and Navoi regions) reached Conclusion. These findings emphasize the need to implement targeted preventive programs aimed at controlling hypertension and reducing smoking prevalence in high-risk groups.
