COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE PREVALENCE OF RISK FACTORS FOR CHRONIC NON-INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND QUALITY OF LIFE AMONG STUDENTS IN KEMEROVO AND TOMSK
Abstract
The assessment of risk factors for chronic non-infectious diseases is of great importance in the formation and planning of public and individual health. It is chronic non-infectious diseases that are the leading cause of temporary disability, disability and mortality of the population and have a pronounced negative impact on the socio-economic situation of the country. In 2018, the Siberian State Medical University conducted a study aimed at studying the risk factors of chronic non-infectious diseases in the student population (universities and colleges). The objectives of our study were to study the prevalence of the same factors in the student population of Kemerovo State Medical University and conduct a comparative analysis of the results obtained with the data of our colleagues in Tomsk and the summary data for the general adult population of the Russian Federation. According to the results of the current study it was found that, compared with the indicators of the Russian population, Kemerovo and Tomsk students have a significant deficit in the consumption of fruits and vegetables (2-fold difference); students in Kemerovo are 2 times more likely to be burdened with the consumption of nicotine-containing products; both are significantly inferior to the adult Russian population in the consumption of alcohol products and salt. It was also found that KemSMU students are significantly exposed to hypodynamia (25.7 %/161) lead a sedentary lifestyle. By psychological risk factors, the vast majority of respondents 51.9 % (298 students) suffer from impaired concentration, and 371 people (59.3 %) experience frequent anxiety, depression, of 626 respondents 433 people (69.1 %) complained about lack of available opportunities for recreation and entertainment. In addition, in spite of a fairly high assessment of the quality of life (below average rated only 3.2 % (20 people) of respondents), a fairly large percentage of students were dissatisfied with the quality of their environment 20.3 % (127 students). According to the results of the study practical recommendations aimed at overcoming risk factors for the development of chronic non-infectious diseases were formed and presented.
