Abstract

This paper presents the results of an analysis of data on the morbidity, mortality, fertility, breakdown by diagnosis, causes of malignant neoplasms in residents of the Altai Republic for the period from 2010 to 2014.
Medico-statistical and analytical research methods were employed. Trends
in demographic indicators, morbidity and disability rates and patterns
in population were determined. The conducted ecogeographical assessment of the demographic situation in the Republic of Altai revealed that
the demographic situation has an indirect impact on the morbidity rate
in population. It was found out that positive population dynamics in the
Republic of Altai remains unchanged, while there is a high birth rate and
a low death rate. It was noted that over the years the demographic situation has improved significantly due to the social factor, i.e. the tradition
of the indigenous population (the Altaians) of having large families. Simultaneously, an increase in general and primary morbidity and a significant
decline in disability among adults were registered. Among the causes of
death, circulatory diseases, accident traumas and intoxications rank first;
as for disability factors, neoplasms rank second and third.
Key words: health, medical demographic situation, the Republic of
Altai, birth rate, mortality, ecology
