ABSTRACT
The purpose of the study is to establish main trends in morbidity of adolescents (15-17 years old) in the regions of the Northern-Caucasus Federal Okrug in 2011-2020. The study is based on data of statistical reports on primary and general morbidity of population aged 15-17 years for 2011-2020. The results. The epidemiological situation concerning morbidity of adolescents in the Russian Federation and the Northern-Caucasus Federal Okrug is characterized by positive trend over the analyzed period. The deterioration of epidemiological situation is observed in the Karachay-Cherkessia Republic (KChR) where absolute increase in overall morbidity of adolescents comprised 105.3% and primary morbidity 49.0% and in the Stavropol Territory (ST) - 23.0% and 27.5% correspondingly. The decrease of morbidity of adolescents is observed in the Republic of Ingushetia (RI) (by 56.9% and 51.7%) and in the Chechen Republic (ChR) (by 34.6% and 45.0%). In the Republic of Dagestan (RD), an increase of overall morbidity (by 114.0%) is accompanied by decreasing of primary morbidity (by 13.2%) and in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania (RNOA) (absolute increase in overall morbidity by 7.8% and decrease of primary morbidity by 7.0%). In the Kabardino-Balkaria Republic (KBR), there is absolute decreasing of overall morbidity (by 1.7%) with simultaneous increase of primary morbidity of adolescents (by 24.2%). However, there are features inherent in most of analyzed regions of the Northern-Caucasus Federal Okrug. The increase of overall morbidity of eye diseases in adolescents is registered in six out of seven regions with exception of the RI, the increase of primary morbidity occurred in four of them (KChR, RD, KBR, ST). The increase of general and primary morbidity of ear diseases is registered in five regions (KChR, RD, RI, KBR, RNOA). The increasing of morbidity of neoplasms registered as common for five regions (the KChR, RD, RI, KBR, the ST) and as primary one in four of them (with the exception of the ST). The conclusions. In the regions of the Northern-Caucasus Federal Okrug multi-directional dynamics of indicators of general and primary morbidity among adolescents was established with predominance of particular classes of diseases. This result testifies absence of unified policy in the field of public health targeted to maintaining healthy life-style in adolescents.
