Some Regional Aspects of Disease Incidence in the Working-Age Population of the Ural Federal District

Background: Achievement of the national goals to increase life expectancy and ensure sustained population growth in the Russian Federation largely depends on the health status and mortality rates in the working-age population. Health risk management for this cohort is impossible without effective disease incidence data, the lack of which impedes the development and implementation of optimal solutions in health maintenance.

Objective: To assess rates and features of disease incidence in the working-age population of the Ural Federal District.

Materials and methods: We acquired data on disease incidence in the Russian Federation from statistical yearbooks published on the website of the Federal Research Institute for Health Organization and Informatics of the Russian Ministry of Health and on the size of the working-age population from the Federal State Statistics Service. We estimated age-specific incidence rates (per 100,000) in the working-age population of the Russian Federation, the Ural Federal District and its administrative territories for 2015–2019 using MS Excel. The statistical data analysis was performed using the Statistica 10 software. The incidence structure by ICD-10 disease categories was determined.

Results: We were first to establish absolute and relative incidence rates, incidence structure by ICD-10 disease categories, and regional features of disease incidence in the working-age population residing in the Ural Federal District. We found significant differences between district and federal average incidence rates.

Conclusions: The incidence in the Ural Federal District was significantly higher than the national average. Incidence rates differed significantly between certain territories of the district. Incidence rates in the working-age population shall be included in the system of public health monitoring and taken into account when developing local programs of governmental guarantees of free medical services to citizens.
