The paper estimates the prevalence of the main risk factors for breast cancer (BC) in different age groups of the female population of the Omsk Region. Priority groups for the correction of risk factors in five age intervals were identified. According to the results of an integrated assessment of the aggregate of risk factors at different ages of women, the age group 60-69 years old was in the first ranking place for the priority of preventive measures, the second group was 70 years or more, the third group included a group of 30-39 year old women. The specific weight of the corrected risk factors in this group of respondents was 85.7%, which determines the potential of preventive measures.

Background: This article presents the results of the analysis of the clinical and morphological examination of breast cancer (BC) in women of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (RS(Y)). Methods and Results: The object of the study was fragments of breast tissue from 294 women who underwent surgical treatment and/or needle biopsy. By ethnicity, there were 118(40.1%) women of indigenous nationalities and 176(59.9%) women of non–indigenous nationalities. The greatest number of cases of BC was registered in the age group of 50-59 (32.6%). The age group of 40-49 was in second place (20.4%). Among the indigenous population, women in the age groups of 40-49 years (23.7%) and 50-59 years (26.3%) predominated. The age groups of 50-59 years (36.9%) and 60-69 years (22.2%) predominated among the non-indigenous women. Tumors with a size of 2 cm to 5 cm prevailed; they were detected in 185(62.9%) women. Tumors with a spread to the chest wall and skin develop more often in women of non-indigenous nationalities (15.9% of cases), than in women of indigenous nationality (6.8% of cases). Regardless of ethnicity, the most common histological form of BC in women of the RS(Y) was infiltrative ductal cancer (65.3%). Cancer staging according to the TNM staging system showed that n the age group of women under 39 years, Stage IIIB+IIIC (43.2%) was most often registered (p=0.01), while in other age groups, Stage IIA (32.4%) was more often noted. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that further investigation of the peculiarities of the course of BC in the female population of Yakutia would lead to much improved methods of diagnosis and treatment.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected more than 180 countries and has killed more than half a million people up to now. Risk factors for death are not yet fully identified. Objectives: The present study aimed at comparing the clinical manifestations and risk factors for death between two groups of patients with COVID-19 aged under and above 50 in Qom Province, Iran. Methods: The current retrospective cohort study was conducted on 178 patients with COVID-19 in Qom Province. Patients were followed up until recovery or death. The source population was divided into four groups, of which 45 patients were randomly enrolled in the study. The first group included patients aged less than 50 discharged after recovery; the second group included patients less than 50 years who died from COVID-19; the third group consisted of patients above 50 discharged after recovery, and the fourth group included patients above 50 who died from COVID-19. The data, including COVID-19 clinical symptoms and presumptive risk factors for death, were collected and compared between groups. Results: The most common symptoms in hospitalized patients were shortness of breath (82.6%), cough (73.6%), and fever (71.9%), respectively. In the age group above 50, the prevalence of fever in the recovered subjects was higher than that of the ones who died from the disease (81.8% Vs. 53.3%). Headache and loss of senses of smell and taste were also more common in both age groups in the recovered subjects. In the age group under 50, subjects who died had higher BMI values, but in the age group above 50, subjects who died had lower BMIs. Conclusions: The results of the present study showed that obesity could be a risk factor for death in the age group under 50. The results also indicated that in both age groups, extrapulmonary symptoms were more common in recovered patients.

11080 Background: African Americans (AA) have a lower incidence of breast cancer with a poorer prognosis than Caucasians. It is unclear whether AA women have fewer known risk factors for breast cancer or that risk factors have a lesser effect in AA. We evaluated the accuracy of the race-based modification Gail Model in predicting the risk of developing invasive breast cancer in the AA population. Methods: With IRB approval, we performed a retrospective analysis of data obtained from women (n=15,973) ages 40–79 presenting to our Breast Center(5/2003 to 7/2005) for a screening mammogram. The five-year probability of breast cancer for AA (n=702) versus Caucasians (n=15,721) was calculated for each individual using 3 methods: 1) the race specific Gail model, 2) the Gail model ignoring race (AA using the Caucasian model), and 3) age and race matched SEER projection using DevCan (v6.1.1) software. Results: There was no significant difference between the 5-year probability of breast cancer for Caucasians as calculated by the Gail model vs. the SEER prediction (p=NS), suggesting our population was representative of the larger study population from which SEER data was derived. As compared to SEER prediction, the modified Gail model underestimated the breast cancer risk for all age groups of AA (p<0.0001). When the Gail Model without the race-based modification was applied to the AA population, the projected risk was not significantly different from the SEER prediction (p=0.1049). Conclusions: This study suggests that the race-based modification of the Gail Model underestimate the risk of breast cancer in AA women. When the model is applied to AA women without incorporating the modification for race, the Gail model accurately reflects SEER 5-year projections of risk of invasive cancer in AA women. Differences in risk factor distribution among race, rather than a differential effect of those factors on risk, may have a substantial role in explaining the lower incidence in AA women as compared to Caucasian women over 40.

Somach cancer is the third most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The objective of the paper was to analyze the incidence and mortality trends of stomach cancer in Central Serbia in the period between 1999–2017. Materials and Methods: trends and annual percentage change (APC) of the incidence and mortality rate with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated by joinpoint regression analyses. The optimal number of Joinpoints was identified using the Monte Carlo permutation method. The trend was considered to be significantly increasing (positive change) or decreasing (negative change) when the p-value was below 0.05 (p < 0.05). Results: the total number of new cases was 16,914 (10,873 males and 6041 females) and the total number of mortality cases was 14,790 (9348 in and 5442 in females). Almost one third (30.8%) of new cases were registered in the 60–69-year age group, and new cases were significantly more frequent in males than in females (30.8% vs. 29.02%, p < 0.001). Joinpoint regression analysis showed a significant decrease of incidence trend in females during the 2000–2015 period with APC of −2.13% (95% CI: −3.8 to −0.5, p < 0.001). An insignificant decrease in incidence trend was in males with APC of −0.72% (95% CI: −2.3 to 0.9, p = 0.30). According to the joinpoint analysis, a significant decrease of mortality trends both in males during 2000–2015 with APC of −2.21% (95% CI: −1.6 to −7.5, p ≤ 0.001 and in females, during the same period, with APC of −1.75% (95% CI: −2.9 to −0.6, p < 0.001) was registered. From 2015 to 2017, a significant increase of mortality was registered with APC of 44.5% (95% CI: from 24.2 to −68.1, p ≤ 0.001) in females and in males with APC of 53.15% (95% CI: 13.5 to −106.6, p ≤ 0.001). Conclusion: a significant decrease of stomach cancer incidence trend in females and insignificant decrease of incidence trend in males were determined in Central Serbia. Based on presented results, the mortality trend decreased significantly both in males and in females during 2000–2015, and from 2015 to 2017 we recorded a significant increase in mortality in both sexes. We found significantly more new cases in women than in men in the age group of 40–49, and the mortality of stomach cancer was significantly more frequent among females compared to males in the age groups 30–39, as well as in the 50–59 age group. There is a need for improving recording and registration of new cases of stomach cancer, especially in females. Urgent primary and secondary preventive measures are needed—introducing stomach cancer screening and early detection of premalignant changes. Urgent primary and secondary preventive measures are needed.

This study aimed to identify the anaerobic capacity level of a sample of Omani children. The sample included 197 children between the ages of 9 to 13 years. The Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) was used. The sample was divided into five groups. The first group comprised the nine-year olds (19 children), the second group comprised the ten-year olds (22 children), the third group comprised the eleven-year olds (52 children), the fourth group comprised the 12-year olds (43 children), and the fifth comprised the 13-year olds (61 children). The results showed that the anaerobic capacity level improved during the stages of growth. The level of improvement achieved in 13-year old children was the highest compared to the other age-groups (P S 0.000). This improvement was not at a steady rate. It occurred through booms that coincided with growth which appears in practice through the evolution of not only the level of values on the amount of effort, but also in the level of some related motor skills. It showed a positive correlation between the values of the anaerobic capacity level, the time of running 100 meters and vertical jumping (p S 0.01). Accordingly, this phase can be considered one of those booms. Key words: anaerobic capacity, (Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST), Omani children, the 100 meters running, vertical jumping.

Study was conducted for duration of 3 months from December 2013 to February 2014. Non probability convenient sampling technique was used. Sample size was calculated using standard sample size calculator. Semi structured questionnaire was used as data collection tool. Patient’s record and investigations were used as adding tools. Standard definition was made for ischemic heart disease. Different modifiable and non-modifiable factors were assessed and were analyzed using SPSS version 16.Results:This study contains 350 patients in which female patients were 133(38%) and male were 217(62%).The mean age was 57.23±11.36 years. The age of the patients ranges from 22 to 80 years. The frequencies of risk factors were stress (73.1%) followed by hypertension (65.7%), sedentary life style (59.4%), family history (57.1%), smoking (50.6%), over weight and obese (39.1%), below normal HDL (30.3%), high LDL (29.1%), hypertriglyceridemia (28%), hypercholesterolemia (23.7%). 64.3% patients were presenting with acute IHD and 35.7% were with chronic IHD. Stress, HTN, DM and sedentary life style were found to be significantly associated with male gender (p- value <0.05). Age was divided into two groups, <45 years and >45 years. Stress, HTN, DM and hypercholesterolemia had a significant association with >45 years of age group. (P-value <0.05).Conclusion:Stress, HTN, DM, sedentary life styles were the major risk factors. And they were found to be more in male gender and in equal to more than 45 years of age group.

Objectives - to study the mortality indicators, their dynamics and structure, in the population of the Orenburg region in the period of 2011-2017. Material and methods. The study was conducted using the data from the territorial authority of statistics in the Orenburg region in the period from 2011 to 2017. The analytical, demographic and statistical methods were implemented for the study of the demographic indicators. Results. Cities and municipal settlements of the Orenburg region with high mortality indicators were included in the second and fourth clusters during the cluster analysis. The first and third clusters included cities and municipal settlements with an average mortality. The most favorable position has the Orenburg area with the lowest mortality rate in the region in 2017 - 8.4%. The dynamics of mortality rates among the male and female population tends to decrease, more pronounced dynamics is in men. Though, the male population is characterized by higher mortality rates in all age groups. The leading position among the causes of death is taken by diseases of the circulatory system (46.3% of the total mortality). The second position is occupied by tumors (17.2%), the third - by external causes (8.4%). Mortality from circulatory system diseases and from external causes has reduced. The dynamics of mortality from tumors does not change significantly. The rank of leading causes of death is not identical in the clusters: in the third and fourth clusters, the other causes occupy the second place in the structure of mortality, while tumors occupy the third. Conclusion. In the Orenburg region, the mortality rate is higher than overage in the Russian Federation by 0.9 per 1000 people. The study revealed significant territorial differences in the mortality rates. In general, the mortality among men in all age groups is higher than the mortality of women. The mortality rate from diseases of the circulatory system plays the leading role in the structure of mortality, but has the tendency for decline. Until 2006, the mortality from external causes ranked the second place, now the second place is taken by death from tumors The mortality from external causes is decreasing; mortality from tumors does not change significantly. The obtained results could be used by local authorities in developing the program of public health protection and assessing its effectiveness.

Objective To evaluate the oral health of children with cleft lip and palate. Design DMFT (dmft) and DMFS (dmfs) were calculated on the basis of visual examination. Periodontal disease was assessed by classical clinical parameters: volume gain, bleeding, probing depth, loss of insertion, gingival recession. and calculus. Patients Seventy-eight individuals aged 1 to 32 years took part in the study. Results The dmft was 2.91 (± 3.99) in the 1- to 5-year-old age group and 2.77 (± 3.15) in the 6- to 12-year-old group. The DMFT averages for the age groups of 6 to 12 years, 13 to 18 years, and 19 to 32 years were 1.87 (± 1.78), 6.46 (± 3.11), and 13.62 (± 6.51), respectively. A total of 5.3% of individuals presented a healthy periodontium, and 86.6% presented with gingivitis and 8% presented with periodontitis. Conclusions The dental and periodontal condition of individuals with cleft lip and palate was similar to the general population in the region in which this study was conducted. Good preventive measures should result in improved oral health similar to the general population and should be emphasized.
