The dynamics of the disease incidence indices in adult population for 1992 to 1997 is analyzed. The growth of the incidence of internal organs diseases and the tendency to increasing the rate of hypertension, ischemic heart disease, diseases of stomach and respiratory organs are noted, the demand for specialized services, diagnostic and medical provision increases. The necessity to form complex medicosocial and economic measures directed to decreasing negative tendencies in health of the population in Kazan is noted.

Diabetes is one of several risk factors for ischemic heart disease and is a major killer.1–3This complex disease affected around 171 million people all over the world in 2000 and is estimated to affect 366 million people by 2030. Of these, about 13 million cases have been diagnosed with diabetes in the US, and another 5.2 million people are unaware that they have the disease.

(1) Background: Certain non-biological factors are suspected to explain the reduced sex difference in cardiovascular risk after diabetes. This study aimed to assess whether physician characteristics may account for such reduced sex difference. (2) Methods: Totally 10,105 type 2 diabetes patients (including 4962 men and 5143 women) were selected from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance claim data. The three-year period following the first day of clinical visit for type 2 diabetes in 2000 was set as the baseline period. The follow-up was made from the first day after baseline period to date of ischemic heart disease (IHD) incidence or censoring. Cox regression model was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) of IHD in relation to physician’s characteristics. (3) Results: The incidence of IHD for men and women was estimated at 17.47 and 15.96 per 1000 person-years, respectively. After controlling for socio-demographic variables and co-morbidity, male patients experienced a significantly higher HR than females for IHD (1.16, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.04 to 1.29). Further adjustment for treatment adherence/continuity and physician characteristics resulted in essentially the same results. (4) Conclusions: Our study provides little support for the notation that physician characteristics may contribute to the reduced sex difference in IHD incidence in patients with type 2 diabetes.
