THE ANALYSIS OF THE SICKNESS RATE AMONG THE CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS OF THE IRKUTSK REGION (BY EXAMPLE OF THE TAISHET DISTRICT)

Abstract

There is represented the analysis of the sickness rate among the children and adolescents on the typical areas of the Irkutsk region during 2003-2011 (by example of the Taishet district). We have established that the sickness rate of the Taishet district is typical for every south-west area, however significantly lower than in industrial centers of the Irkutsk region. Children and adolescents of the whole Irkutsk region as well as the Taishet district distinguish themselves by the increase of the sickness rate of respiratory diseases (the growth rate over the period of the analysis ranges from 18 to 117 %). There are calculated the values of the comparative risk of the priority types of diseases for industrial centers: respiratory diseases (for children RR = 1,4 (р < 0,05), for adolescents RR = 1,22 (р < 0,05)); injuries, poisonings and accidents (1,8 (р < 0,05) for both age groups).
