The aim is to assess the health status (morbidity and disability) of adolescents in Krasnodar Krai.Materials and methods. We analysed the offi cial statistical data on the health state of 10– 18 year-old children in Krasnodar Krai during the 2013–2017 period using Form 12 “Information on the number of diseases registered in patients living in the service area of the medical organization” and Form 19 “Information on disabled children”. In addition, the data presented in the report “On medical support of citizens before their initial military registration in Krasnodar Krai in 2017” was analysed.Results. Diseases of the respiratory tract, digestive system, musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, as well as traumas and poisoning, are shown to be leading conditions in the structure of adolescents’ general and primary morbidity. Over the past fi ve years, a decrease in the overall and primary morbidity in 10–14 year-old children has been recorded, although these indicators have shown a growing trend in children aged 15–18 years old. An increase in general and primary disabilities across all age groups in Krasnodar Krai was revealed.Conclusion. An increase in the primary and overall morbidity in 15–18 year-old adolescents, as well as an increase in primary and general disabilities in 10–18 year-old adolescents has been observed. The problem of adolescent health can be solved using an integrated approach. Positive dynamics can only be achieved by oncerted efforts of medical, public and scientifi c organizations.
