REGIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF HEALTH OF THE RETIREMENT AGE POPULATION IN THE TRANS-BAIKAL TERRITORY

Significance. Population aging is manifested by a steady increase in the share of people of retirement age. Changes in the number of citizens of the older age affect health indicators of the population and substantiate improvements in organization of medical and social assistance to this group of population. Purpose. Dynamic assessment of mortality and morbidity rates among the retirement age population in the Trans-Baikal Territory with due regard to regional characteristics. Material and methods. The study was carried out through data extraction and analysis of materials of the state statistical reports of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation for the period 2015-2021. Pearson correlation coefficient method was used. Results. A seven-year dynamics show increased mortality among the retirement age population in the Trans-Baikal Territory. This indicator is higher than the one in the Russian Federation and the Far Eastern Federal District. The main contributors include diseases of the circulatory system, neoplasms and diseases of the nervous system. Despite the growth, indicators of disease incidence and prevalence among the retirement age population remain lower than those in the Russian Federation and the Far Eastern Federal District. Increased incidence of socially significant diseases among the retirement age population has been identified. There is a direct interim association between incidence and prevalence rates, confirming that increase in prevalence is accounted for by increase in incidence. The study results confirm that disease incidence is determined by indicators of medical care availability. Conclusion. Increase in the level of incidence, unfavorable trends in the incidence of socially significant diseases result in increased demand for medical care, and call for specific measures to be taken to improve organization of medical care delivery to the retirement age population
