Ecological and Hygienic Factors and Prevalence of the Diseases of the Circulatory System

Abstract

The most important medical and social problem of modern health care are diseases of the circulatory system, the high incidence of which is due to the interaction of a number of factors, among which a certain place is occupied by the living environment. The purpose and objectives of the study - to lead ecological and hygienic assessment of the prevalence of diseases of the circulatory system in the population of Primorsky Krai. Material and methods. Ecological and hygienic assessment of the prevalence of diseases of the circulatory system in the population of Primorsky Krai was carried out for the period 2000-2017, depending on the bioclimatic zone, environmental situation and habitat factors. Characteristics of the habitat were carried out according to 8 sanitary-hygienic and 7 natural-climatic modular factors, based on a 10-point system in accordance with the developed assessment scale. The dependences between environmental factors and the level of circulatory diseases were assessed by regression analysis, and the statistical significance was assessed by Chi - square (Pearson) criterion. Results. During the period 2000-2017 in Primorsky Krai there was an increase in the incidence of diseases of the circulatory system by 38%, and since 2006 they have come to the first place in the structure of morbidity and amounted to 43-49%. Among the diseases of the circulatory system is dominated by hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease. It is established that the prevalence of diseases of the circulatory system in the population is influenced by the following sanitary and hygienic parameters: the level of air pollution, the characteristic of chemical pollution, adverse physical factors, transport loads. The prevalence of diseases of the circulatory system has a strong relationship with a number of climatic parameters: the number of days with the biological activity of solar radiation, latitude, air speed. Discussion. Climatic and ecological factors of the region, social and demographic features can cause deviations of the health status of the population from the all-Russian trends. Conclusion. The dependence of the prevalence of diseases of the circulatory system on the bioclimatic zone, the degree of stress of the environmental situation in the Primorsky territory, as well as environmental factors.

Electromagnetic Environment Created by Mobile Communication as a Risk Factor Causing Higher Prevalence of Circulatory Diseases

“…Some research works focus on patients' age and there are conclusions in them on the necessity to implement efficient preventive activities for middle-aged and elderly people [1]. Domestic researchers have revealed impacts exerted by climatic-geographic and ecologic factors on deviations in population health in a given region from the country trends [5].…”

“…It is quite promising to examine epidemiologic situation regarding cardiovascular diseases in regions with different climatic and geographic conditions [5]. In this respect Crimea seems an interesting region, especially given mass reconstruction of mobile communications that is taking place in the republic at the moment.…”

Regional Features of the Incidence of Diseases of the Circulatory System in the Population of the Orenburg Region

“…Болезни системы кровообращения (БСК) по распространенности занимают лидирующие позиции среди других заболеваний [7][8][9], а также являются основной причиной смерти во всем мире [10][11][12]. Однако стандартизованный коэффициент смертности от сердечно-сосудистой патологии в Российской Федерации остается одним из самых высоких в Европе и мире [13][14][15]. Знание ситуации об уровне и динамике заболеваемости болезнями системы кровообращения необходимо для принятия управленческих решений с учетом социальной значимости проблемы [16][17][18].…”
