Objective: To examine ischemic cardiovascular disease risks (ICVD) over 10 years among china middle class (public servants) in China.

Methods: Evaluation of 10-year risks of ICVD for 2287 people with the simplified method of prediction of the cardiovascular disease risks worked out by the Collaborative Research Group of the National 10th Five Year Plan.

Results: (1) 98,16% of the men and 99,39% of the women have a low risk of ICVD (lower than 10%); 0,19% of the men and 0,15% of the women have a significant risk of ICVD (over 20%). (2) the average of the absolute risk of the examined subjects is higher than that of the corresponding ages of the national population. The variation is significant between men and women (p<0,001). The number of the people having an absolute risk higher than the national average increases with the age. (3) Among people with high risks (absolute risk > or =10%), the rate of SBP, FBG, TC, BMI abnormal is respectively 100%, 20,8%, 75%, 87,5%. Among the population of low risk (absolute risk<10%), those with abnormal SBP, FBG, TC, BMI are respectively 7,31%, 3,4%, 37,74%, 59,26%. The difference between the two groups is significant on all the points (p<0,001).

Conclusion: If the average of the risks of the ICVD remains acceptable, it is nevertheless high than the national average, especially for men and older women.
