[The population health in The Russian Federation and the Republic of Uzbekistan: a comparative analysis].

UNLABELLED

The epidemiological monitoring of morbidity, mortality and disability is one of the important mechanisms of studying population health. The purpose of the study is to carry out comparative analysis of health status of population of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Uzbekistan.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The demographic indicators as well as indicators of morbidity, mortality and disability of adult population of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Uzbekistan in 2010-2020 were analyzed. The statistical, analytical and mathematical methods were applied. The statistical significance of differences in relative values was calculated using the Student's coefficient and was considered as significant at p<0.05 and t>2.

THE RESULTS

During the study period, an increase in population size of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Uzbekistan was established. The population age structure was of regressive type in the Russian Federation and of progressive type in Uzbekistan. In the Russian Federation, significant decrease of natality up to 12.8% and statistically significant increase of mortality up to 34% occurred. The natural population loss in the Russian Federation raised three-fold. In the Republic of Uzbekistan, there was statistically significant increase both of natality and mortality indicators up to 11% and of positive values of natural population growth by 14% (p<0.03). In the Russian Federation, there is statistically significant (p<0.006) decrease of indicator of primary disability from 7.7 cases per 1000 of population in 2010 to 5.6 cases in 2020. In the Republic of Uzbekistan, significant increase (p<0.009) of indicators of primary disability from 0.1 cases per 1000 of population to 2.2 cases per 1000 of population was established.

THE CONCLUSION

The different types of population in the Russian Federation (regressive) and in the Republic of Uzbekistan (progressive) predetermine differences in demographic indicators of both countries. The high level of mortality and increasing of morbidity of circulatory system and neoplasms in both countries justify need in improving measures of primary and secondary prevention at the state level.
