Исследование смертности занимает важное место в демографии в целом и в особенности в демографии старения. России свойственна неоднородность демографического развития, в частности региональная дифференциация показателей смертности населения. Работа посвящена анализу зависимости смертности в регионах России в старших возрастных группах от социально-экономических показателей. Исследование проводили с использованием методов регрессионного анализа, где в качестве единиц наблюдения выступали субъекты РФ, в качестве объясняемой переменной - смертность мужского (женского) населения старшего (60+) возраста, представленная в виде стандартизованных по структуре населения коэффициентов. В результате работы выявлены значимые социально-экономические факторы, позволяющие объяснить различия уровней смертности в субъектах РФ. Studies of old-age mortality are an important part of demography, especially the demography of ageing. Demographic development of Russia is characterized by heterogeneity including regional differences in mortality. The aim of the paper is to analyze the dependence of mortality at old-age groups on socio-economic indicators. The study is conducted using methods of regression analysis; the units of observation are the regions of the Russian Federation, the explained variable is the mortality rate of male (female) population at older (60+) ages standardized by the population-age structure. As a result, the significant socio-economic factors, explaining the differences of mortality rates in the regions of the Russian Federation, were identified.

In the modern period of the widespread processes of globalization, integration and rapid migration, complicated foreign policy relations of a number of states belonging to transnational blocs defending opposing interests, of course, the problem of effectively countering terrorist and extremist activities, as well as preventing the spread of relevant ideologies, is becoming particularly acute. The international community, realizing the danger of terrorism and striving to develop effective measures to prevent it, has adopted a number of documents, which include United Nations conventions (for example, the International Convention for the Suppression of the Taking of Hostages, the International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings, the International Convention for the Suppression of financing of terrorism). The increased importance of this type of crime is also confirmed by the consolidation in federal legislation of the relevant concepts and forms in which the considered illegal activity can be carried out, the methods of its prevention and sanctions used for committing offenses of an extremist and terrorist nature. The main normative legal acts in this area are the federal laws of July 25, 2002 No. 114-FZ “On Countering Extremist Activity” and of March 6, 2006 No. 35-FZ “On Countering Terrorism.” For the purposes of criminal law enforcement of countering terrorism and in the interests of fulfilling international obligations, the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation of June 13, 1996 (as amended on November 28, 2015, hereinafter referred to as the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) establishes responsibility for the commission of crimes against international security.

The subject of the research is the goals and targets of the Demography national project and related national and federal projects aiming to resolve the problems of the socio-demographic development of Russia, primarily, elimination or at least reduction of poverty of a significant part of the country’s population. The purposes of the research were to identify and substantiate ways to solve socio-demographic problems defined in the national project, and estimate the scope of its financing planned by the Russian Federation Government. The paper proves that until now the lack of sufficient livelihood is monitored in Russia only by the absolute income poverty index, which makes it impossible to compare the poverty dynamics correctly in both time and space. The paper focuses on national projects aimed at increasing the human capital based on long-term forecasts of indicators to be achieved. It might happen that the planned significant contribution of the Russian Federation regions to the Healthcare national project will hamper the effective implementation of the Demography national project due to the lack of regional funds. It is proposed that reports on poverty reduction are submitted annually to the UNICEF to inform this international organization on measures taken to achieve the goal of twofold poverty reduction, particularly measures to ensure safe, healthy and happy childhood, in order to be aware of the poverty reduction progress. The issue of increasing life expectancy cannot be solved without taking measures specific for the male and female population. Therefore, the target statistics indicator ignoring the gender differences cannot be correct in respect of the entire population. It is concluded that if the national projects aimed at the human capital development have been implemented successfully the Russian socio-demographic policy will contribute to the growth of the economy.

Relevance. Currently, noncommunicable diseases are responsible for the majority of deaths worldwide. Cervical cancer (СС) is actual medical and social problem. Comparative analysis of morbidity, mortality and state of oncological care in Zabaikalskii krai and Russian Federation was purpose of this study. Aim. Estimation of morbidity and mortality from cervical cancer in the Zabaikalskii krai in dynamics over 10 years. Materials and methods. The assessment was carried out on the basis of an analysis of statistical data concerning the burden of morbidity and mortality from cancer in the territory of the Zabaikalskii krai and the Russian Federation. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistica 10 software. Standardized indicators were used to analyze morbidity and mortality. Differences were considered statistically significant at an error level of p0.05. Results. Analysis cervical cancer incidence of the Zabaikalskii krai and the Russian Federation in dynamics from 20072017 (100 000 female population) demonstrates a significant increase in the incidence of cervical cancer. On the territory of the Russian Federation, there is a steady increase on average by 2.26% annually, the growth dynamics over this period amounted to 25.81%, and in 2017 amounted to 15.76. In the Zabaikalskii krai in 2017, the incidence of cervical cancer was 41.54. In dynamics over the past 10 years, this indicator increased by 46.42%, which is significantly higher than in the Russian Federation (p0.01). The analysis of standardized indicators of mortality from cervical cancer in the structure of mortality from cancer in Russia in 2017 amounted to 5.18%, which corresponds to 10th place. Mortality in the first year since diagnosis was 14.6%. In the group of women of reproductive age 3039 years, mortality from cervical cancer was also maximum (23.6%) compared with other age groups. Mortality from cervical cancer in the Zabaikalskii krai was 7.17 in 2017. This indicator is higher than the all-Russian values by 38.41% (p0.01). In dynamics over 10 years, a decrease in mortality in the Zabaikalskii krai by 6.39% is noted. Conclusion. It should be noted that a significant increase in the incidence of cervical cancer, and a decrease in mortality from this pathology, may indicate some success in the diagnosis and treatment of this pathology. In this regard, the search for new diagnostic, prognostic and predictive markers at this stage is relevant in solving this all-Russian medical and social problem.

Aim. To estimate the prevalence and trends of the long-term dynamics of morbidity and mortality associated with various manifestations of HPV infection in Russia in recent years. Materials and methods. We analyzed retrospective data with diagnostic codes related to cervical cancer, penile cancer, anal canal cancer, head and neck cancer (including the oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx and larynx), anogenital (venereal) warts from the official statistic of cancer register and STIs using incidence and mortality rates in Russia between January 2007 and December 2016 and retrospective data with diagnostic codes related to cancer of the vulva and cancer of the vagina between January 2011 and December 2016. Based on the available data on the involvement of HPV in the occurrence of pathological changes, the annual generalized indices for HPV-associated neoplasms were calculated. Results. The estimated number of HPV-associated lesions in the Russian Federation for 2007-2016 amounted to 5 761 170 cases, of which 224 630 - among men and 5 536 540 - among women. The estimated number of deaths from HPV-associated cancers was 109 510 cases, of which 32 080 - among men and 77 430 - among women. The estimated incidence of HPV-associated cancers neoplasms during this period increased by 10% among the male population and by 22% among the female population, reaching 8.0 cases per 100 000 male population in 2016 and 25.2 cases per 100 thousand female population. The death rate from HPV-associated cancers did not change significantly, and in 2016 it was 4.9 cases per 100 thousand male population and 10.2 cases per 100 thousand female population. Conclusion. There is an increase in morbidity and stabilization of mortality rates from HPV-associated cancers for both female and male populations, and a decrease in the incidence of anogenital (venereal) warts.

Introduction. There are not enough studies dealing with the assessment of impact of socio-economic factors on the health of the population at the interregional level. However, the instability of the economic situation requires a periodic repetition of such researches. The aim of the study is to establish the relationship between the children’s disability prevalence and the main indices characterizing socio-economic situation in the Russian Federation. Materials and methods. Official data on the prevalence of disability in children aged 0-17 years and the level of basic indices characterizing the socio-economic situation in the country were analyzed in the context of 83 constituent entities of the Russian Federation for the period 2017-2019. The socio-economic characteristics of the population were the unemployment rate, monetary income, housing conditions, and consumption of basic food products. Spearman rank correlation method was used to determine the links. Results. It was established that there is still significant interregional variability in the prevalence of children’s disability both in Federal districts and in the subjects of the Federation. It’s been revealed various degrees of severity correlation between the childrens’ disability prevalence in the subjects of the Russian Federation and many socio-economic factors including unemployment; average per capita monetary income of the population; the proportion of the population with monetary incomes below the subsistence minimum; total area of residential premises, which is on average per inhabitant; the share of young families registered as needing housing, from the total number of family cells with children under 18 years; consumption of cheaper food. Conclusion. The results should be taken into account in the development of programs for the children’s disability prevention; full responsibility should not been placed on the healthcare system only.

Aim. To comparatively analyze the registered mortality rates from coronary heart disease (CHD) as a whole, as well as myocardial infarction (MI) and other acute forms of CHD during a 15-year period in the Russian Federation (RF, 2000—2014) and the United States of America (USA, 1999-2013). Materials and methods. Primary data were obtained from the database of the RF State Statistics Service, the World Health Organization Mortality Database, Human Mortality Database, then converted into standardized mortality rates and are presented in three age groups (30+, 30-49, and 50+ years old) in men and women separately. Results. The analysis revealed a substantial excess of the registered mortality rates from CHD in the RF versus in the USA, as well as a lower incidence of MI and a higher incidence of other acute CHD forms registered as the cause of death. It also showed considerable differences in the structure of registered types of MI as the cause of mortality. Conclusion. The differences found in the mortality rates from CHD, MI, and other acute forms of CHD in the RF and the USA can be explained by objective (the higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, the higher and earlier incidence of CHD in the RF, as well as differences in the organization of medical care and, as a result, actually higher mortality rates from CHD in Russia) and subjective (differences in approaches to statistically developing a population-based mortality rate, as well as defects in filling out the medical documents and coding the causes of death) factors.

The article introduces the concept of “demographic well-being”. At the micro level, demographic well-being should be understood as the possibility of realizing matrimonial, reproductive, migration attitudes, which leads to life satisfaction and the achievement of the desired physical, mental, socio-economic state of the individual and the family. Demographic well-being at the level of a country or its region, at the macro level, can be interpreted as a balanced ratio of quantitative and qualitative indicators of the demographic development of a country (region) for at least five years. The article also examines the features of the demographic development of the Russian Federation during the second wave of depopulation. A methodology for assessing demographic well-being based on several criteria is proposed. First, demographic well-being should be characterized by positive (upward) demographic dynamics that have a stable (long-term) character. Secondly, regions in which there is a population growth due to two components – natural and migratory population growth – can be considered demographically prosperous. Regions in which there is a migration or natural decline in population, but there is a general increase, cannot be considered demographically prosperous. Thirdly, the ratio of indicators and the dynamics of fertility and mortality rates can be considered an important point. First of all, this is their direct ratio, where the birth rate should exceed the death rate. At the same time, the birth rate should be close to the population replacement level, and the structure of mortality should have no extreme “surges” in the form of excess mortality in the working age and younger age groups. Fourth, an important point is the qualitative indicators of demographic well-being, including a balanced sex and age structure of the population, the optimal proportion of young people and pensioners, and the availability of labor resources necessary for socio-economic development. The typology of the regions of the Russian Federation according to the indicators of demographic well-being is presented. The authors also propose measures of demographic policy to achieve demographic well-being in the Russian Federation, including federal and regional measures.
