The Relationship

The paper presents the results of the analysis of demographic and medico-social data characterizing the dynamics of morbidity and mortality from environmental diseases, in particular, diseases of the cardiovascular system. The trend of negative natural population growth was revealed, amounting to -6.9 per 1,000 persons by 2019. The number of patients with cardiovascular diseases was 13 817,4 persons, with the overwhelming majority of the working-age population (9020,2 persons). Ischemic heart disease had the largest share in the structure of the studied diseases (62,25 %). There was also a decrease in life expectancy over the past 30 years and an increase in mortality of young and middle-aged people.

Epidemiological Situation

Annotation. Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is one of the main causes of high mortality, disability and a decrease in the quality of life of the working-age population (WAP) in Ukraine. Aim of the work: to determine the modern features of mortality, disability, prevalence and incidence of ischemic heart disease in the working-age population of the Kyiv region. The analysis of the epidemiology of IHD in the Kyiv region was carried out in dynamics for 2010–2019 and compared to Ukraine. The statistical data of the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine, the Center for Medical Statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, and the Kyiv Regional Center for Medical Statistics on mortality, disability, prevalence and incidence of IHD in the working-age population of the Kyiv region were analyzed with the medical-statistical method. It has been established that IHD is a significant cause of the loss of labor potential in the Kyiv region. IHD accounts for every fourth (25.0%) death in the working age, and the regional level of working-age population mortality from IHD is the highest in Ukraine. In the Kyiv region working-age population dies from ischemic heart disease 1.5–1.7 times, and from myocardial infarction – 1.7–1.9 times more often than the average in Ukraine. Regional levels of incidence IHD among working-age population exceed similar indicators in Ukraine by 1.2 times, the incidence of myocardial infarction – 1.5 times, the prevalence of ischemic heart disease – 1.7 times. Identified unfavorable dynamic trends in mortality and prevalence of IHD among the working-age population of the Kyiv region. The mortality rate from IHD among working-age population increased in the Kyiv region in 2019 compared to 2010, by 7.9%. The prevalence of IHD increased during 2010–2018 by 14.4%, and the primary incidence of myocardial infarction – by 14.9%. The unfavorable epidemiological situation with IHD among working-age population in the Kyiv region necessitates improving the system for the prevention and the organization of medical care for patients with IHD in this region.

This study analyses the avoidable mortality in Poland at the regional level of 16 voivodships over the last two decades, 1991–2010. The author divided the mortality causes into three groups: treatable disease, preventable diseases and ischemic heart disease. We used a decomposition technique to calculate the contribution of changes in mortality from these conditions to changes in life expectancy between birth and age 75 for the two periods 1991–2000 and 2000–2010 by sex and age group. The analyses were based on temporary life expectancy between birth and age 75 (e0–75). Chiang’s method was used for constructing abridged life tables, and Arriaga’s method was used for decomposition. The results revealed differences in the temporary life expectancy level and pace of change between voivodships, causes of deaths and sex.

Objective.To study the gender- and age-specific percentile distribution of carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in the unorganized urban working-age population.Material and Methods. Presented data were obtained in the ESSE-RF study in the city of Tomsk (1,412 participants, 25–64 years old without cardiovascular diseases, 59% women). All the surveyed signed voluntary informed consent form to participate in the study. We studied distributions of the mean and maximum cIMT obtained by the automatic and manual measurements, respectively. An error probability of less than 5% was considered statistically significant.Results. Both indicators of cIMT consistently increased with age in both gender groups. Maximum cIMT (max-cIMT) increased stronger than the mean cIMT (mean-cIMT). Compared with data obtained in other studies, the mean-cIMT estimates were distributed closer to the upper pole of the spectrum presented and increased stronger in 35–55-year-old men compared with those in the populations of Central and Southwestern Europe; the mean-cIMT estimates showed the most pronounced gender effect. Similar trends were identified in relation to the max-cIMT distribution.Conclusion. Obtained data allowed for specific assessment of the individual cIMT values by gender and age within the framework of risk stratification among people of working age without cardiovascular diseases. Further studies aimed at clarifying the prognostic role of high cIMT values in general population, taking into account the influence of traditional and new cardiovascular risk factors, can broaden the understanding of the significance of vascular state assessment as one of the key points, linking risk factors to clinical events, for primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases in population.

In less than a decade, women born in 1975 will be reaching half a century of existence as members of the most infertile of all cohorts born in Spain in the past 130 years, the period for which we have statistical information. In all likelihood, one in four women born in 1975 won’t have had children when she turns fifty, the cut-off point at which demography appraises the completed fertility of a birth cohort. Part of this childlessness is due to frustration of the reproductive project of these women and, eventually, that of their partners. This little-known datum has been envisaged year after year because of causes that are known in theory but difficult to discern and quantify. In societies like ours, which are so concerned about population ageing and its consequences for sustainability of pensions, the viability of a universal health system, increased dependence and its repercussions on gender inequality, or the decline of the working-age population, it’s surprising that there is so little discussion of the fact that, contrary to her own expectations and wishes, one in every four women will be childless. This is why the first number of Perspectives Demogràfiques, a scientific publication on demography addressed to the general public, is devoted to the trends and possible causes of infertility in Spain.

The level of homoarginine (hArg) in terms of prognostic significance may exceed the natriuretic peptides and other well-known markers according to the latest data about the progression of cardiovascular diseases. The lack of data on the association of hArg levels with levels of other metabolites makes it difficult to understand its role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Relationships of hArg and other amino acids, including methionine (Met) and total homocysteine (tHcy), and their ratio in patients with ischemic heart disease were evaluated. The study included 74 patients with coronary heart disease (57 men and 17 women) aged 62 (57 - 67) years before coronary artery bypass surgery and 27 healthy people of similar age. In patients, the level of hArg was almost 2 times lower (p <0.05) than in healthy individuals and rates lower than 1.4 μM were in half of them. The statistically significant decrease (p = 0.0025) of the Met/tHcy ratio corresponded to a decrease in the level of hArg. This ratio did not correlate with glucose level or body mass index. Less statistical significance of hArg correlation with levels of Met or tHcy separately was observed. In the subgroup of patients with hAarg level above 2.1 μM, a lower incidence of myocardial infarction was noted. Thus, a low hArg level is associated with impaired metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids involved in transmethylation reactions, in patients with ischemic heart disease. The Met/tHcy ratio, closely correlating with the level of hArg, apparently reveals a link between the reactions of creatine formation and transmethylation, highlighting a cohort of patients with the most profound and dangerous changes in tissue metabolism.

Collaborative and multicenter studies permit a large number of patients to be enrolled within a reasonable time and providing the opportunity to collect different data. Informatics platforms play an important role in management, storage, and exchange of data between the participants involved in the study. In this article, we describe a modular informatics platform designed and developed to support collaborative and multicenter studies in cardiology. In each developed module, data management is implemented following local defined protocols. The modular characteristic of the developed platform allows independent transfer of different kinds of data, such as biological samples, imaging raw data, and patients’ digital information. Moreover, it offers safe central storage of the data collected during the study. The developed platform was successfully tested during a European collaborative and multicenter study, focused on evaluating multimodal non-invasive imaging to diagnose and characterize ischemic heart disease.
