Introduction. Due to the long-term radioactive contamination of a part of the territory of the Chelyabinsk region, much attention is paid to the analysis of the health status of the population. One of the adverse effects of radiation is the occurrence of neoplasms. The highest doses of radiation as a result of many emergencies were received by the digestive organs. Material and methods. The study of adult mortality in the cities Kasli and Kyshtym over 50 years from 1947 to 1996. The following age groups were studied: 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 years, and older. Results. An increase in the mortality rate from malignant neoplasms of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and other digestive organs in the adult population over 50 years was found. The growth of indices has been observed since 1952. The maximum mortality values from esophageal and gastric ulcers were recorded from 1962 to 1971, from intestinal ulcers from 1972 to 1981. Several waves of increasing mortality were recorded: in the early 50s, after 1957, after 1967, in the late 70’s - early 80‘s of the XX century. The increase in mortality from malignant neoplasms of the digestive organs of all localities in the studied cities among women and people of the elderly (60-69 yrs) and (70 yrs and older) age, as a rule, began five years earlier. Among the population under 50 years of age, differences in cancer mortality from control values were poorly expressed. Conclusion. Mortality rates from malignant neoplasms of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and other unspecified digestive organs in the adult population, especially in the ages of 50-59, 60-69, and 70 and older, in the cities of Kasli and Kyshtym in some periods significantly exceed the control values.

A shift in dengue cases toward the adult population, accompanied by an increased risk of severe cases of dengue in the elderly, has created an important emerging issue in the past decade. To understand the level of past DENV infection among older adults after a large dengue outbreak occurred in southern Taiwan in 2015, we screened 1498 and 2603 serum samples from healthy residents aged ≥ 40 years in Kaohsiung City and Tainan City, respectively, to assess the seroprevalence of anti-DENV IgG in 2016. Seropositive samples were verified to exclude cross-reaction from Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), using DENV/JEV-NS1 indirect IgG ELISA. We further identified viral serotypes and secondary DENV infections among positive samples in the two cities. The overall age-standardized seroprevalence of DENV-IgG among participants was 25.77% in Kaohsiung and 11.40% in Tainan, and the seroprevalence was significantly higher in older age groups of both cities. Although the percentages of secondary DENV infection in Kaohsiung and Tainan were very similar (43.09% and 44.76%, respectively), DENV-1 and DENV-2 spanned a wider age range in Kaohsiung, whereas DENV-2 was dominant in Tainan. As very few studies have obtained the serostatus of DENV infection in older adults and the elderly, this study highlights the need for further investigation into antibody status, as well as the safety and efficacy of dengue vaccination in these older populations.

The article presents the results of a study of the dynamics of recurrent disability due to malignant neoplasms (ZNO) of the adult population in the Chechen Republic for the period 2008-2017. in comparison with the figures for the Russian Federation. In the Russian Federation, the dynamics of re-disability of the adult population due to the ZNO in the period 2008-2017 was characterized by an increase in the number of repeatedly recognized disabled (PPI), the level of which increased from 19.9 to 27.0 per 10 thousand people. Compared to 2008 (taken as 100%), the indicator of visibility of PPI was 135%. In the PPI contingent, the elderly prevailed with a negative trend of growth in their numbers. The proportion of young and middle-aged PPI decreased. In the Chechen Republic, the epidemiological picture of the disability of the adult population due to the ZNO was characterized by different dynamics. The number of PPI due to ZNO in the country decreased. Compared to 2008 (taken as 100%), the visibility index of the PPI was 57.0%; In the structure of recurrent disability due to ZNO, middle-aged and old-aged PPI prevailed, however, their proportion declined. There is a negative growth trend in the proportion of young people.

The article analyzes statistical data for the adult population of the oil and gas producing region at the Aktobe district over 2011-2015. Data on the incidence of malignant (reporting statistical forms No. 35 and No. 7) of the adult population of Mugalzhar, Temirsky district in the Aktobe region were studied in the process of the implementation of the research. In the work, there were used statistical and epidemiological methods. There was a decline in the primary incidence of malignant tumors (MT) in the adult population in Mugalzhar region (there is a gradual decrease from 2011 till 2014, in 2015 -the sharp decrease of the indices of the primary incidence) and Kobdinsky region (there is a decrease of the MT from 2013 and an increase in the rate of growth in Temirsky region (the incidence of MT decreases from 2011 till 2013, the trend of increasing primary indices is traced from 2013) during the period under review. Ranking of the MT with the first time established diagnosis among the adult population living in the Mugalzhar district showed the women’s breast cancer to held the first place, the second - the esophagus, the third place is the uterus. The elderly population of the Temir district is ranked first with MT of the esophagus, on the second - MT of tracheaetracheae, bronchus, lung, in third place - MT of the women’s breast. Among the adult population of the Kobda district, which is the control, the MT of the stomach is leading, after it the MT of tracheae, bronchus, lung, the MT esophagus is on the third place. The statistically significant direct, strong correlations between the annual average daily concentration of carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, hydrocarbon in the atmospheric air and the index of the MT incidence (body of uterus, uterine cervix, breast, mammary gland) at the adult population was revealed. In the Mugalzharsky and Kobdinsky districts the proportion of people living by 2015 more than 5 years from the date of diagnosis is higher than in the Temir district. In the Temir district, the detection rate among newly registered MT patients, in comparison with the Mugalzhar and Kobdinsky regions is high at the I-II stages, and at the IV stage.

OBJECTIVE: Estimate the prevalence and gravity of coronal dental caries for populations of adolescents, adults and elderly people.METHODS: For the crossing of data of the average DMF rates by Regional Health Directorate (RHD) with the digital cartographical base, municipals were grouped by RHD, and the connection between the two bases was formed by a common code or “primary key” in the TerraView® software program (version 4.2.1).RESULTS: The distribution of the DMF average for the teen population was the worst for RHD 8, while RHDs 4, 7 and 14 had lower averages. For the adult population, RHDs 4 and 12 presented the lowest DMF averages. On the other hand, RHDs 8, 13, and 16 had the worst results. For the elderly population, the RHD 4 presented the lowest average, and RHD 9 the highest DMF rate for this population.CONCLUSION: The differences in DMF averages among the RHDs and the populations studied showed that it is necessary to plan different locoregional oral health actions to face the severe clinical state exposed, since its spatial distribution is disparate, with concentrations of cases in certain regions for all age groups studied.

BACKGROUND: The most common malignant neoplasm of the endocrine system is thyroid cancer. In Russia, as in other countries of the world, the incidence rate is steadily increasing. Thus, it is extremely important to assess the problem of health disorders due to thyroid cancer within the framework of socially significant disability caused by malignant neoplasms in the Russian Federation. AIMS: To analyze the spectrum of types and degree of disability in people with disabilities due to thyroid cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The article presents the results of the analysis of the spectrum of the main types of disability in the general contingent of disabled people due to thyroid cancer among the adult population of Moscow (20152019). RESULTS: The dynamics of disability both in the contingent of first recognized and in the contingent of re-recognized disabled people (VPI and PPI) was characterized by an increase in the number of disabled people and the transformation of the structure of general disability. There is a clear change in the ratio towards an increase in the share of PPI from 55.1% in 2015. up to 68.0% in 2019, while the share of VPI decreased from 44.9% in 2015 to 32.0% in 2019. The predominant gender cohort was women, and the age category was the elderly. The main types of life restrictions were the restriction of the ability to self-serve (98.6% of the VPI and 97.9% of the PPI), to work (94.7% of the VPI and 94.6% of the PPI) and to move (21.3% of the VPI, 21.8% of the PPI). A low proportion of restrictions on the ability to control ones behavior, learning, communication and orientation was revealed (0.31.2%). The first degree of disability prevailed in the contingents of VPI and PPI (p 0.0001). In the contingent of men, the proportion of disabled people with the third degree of disability was higher compared to the contingent of women. CONCLUSION: Dynamic assessment of the degree of severity of functional disorders and associated life restrictions should be carried out at all stages of medical and social rehabilitation in order to monitor the effectiveness of medical and rehabilitation measures, assess the quality of life and prevent progression (secondary prevention of disability).

  El cáncer gástrico afecta principalmente a las personas de edad avanzada. Con el objetivo de caracterizar la evolución de la mortalidad por cáncer gástrico en el adulto mayor en Cuba durante los años 1987-2015, según variables sociodemográficas seleccionadas, se realizó un estudio ecológico de series temporales. El universo estuvo conformado por 16713 fallecidos mayores de 60 años en Cuba, cuya causa de muerte registrada en el certificado de defunción fue el cáncer gástrico. Se analizaron tasas anuales crudas y ajustadas por grupos de edad y sexo. Predominó el sexo masculino con 62,3 % y el grupo de edad de 70-79 años con 37,1 %, mayor frecuencia de morir en hombre 1,6:1. El 38,6 % de los fallecidos tenía color de la piel blanca, más frecuente en el sexo masculino. Fue evidente que a la hora de la muerte predominó la condición de fallecidos sin parejas estables en 57,4 %. Las tasas de mortalidad ajustadas por grupos de edad aumentan después de la octava década de la vida. La evolución de la mortalidad por cáncer gástrico durante los últimos 28 años muestra una tendencia ascendente a predominio del sexo masculino, se hace necesario diseñar e implementar programas de detección precoz que vayan dirigidos a la disminución de la mortalidad en los adultos mayores.   Palabras clave: Cáncer gástrico, adulto mayor, tasa de mortalidad, tasa bruta de mortalidad y tasa ajustada de mortalidad.   Abstract   Gastric cancer affects mainly the elderly. Objective: to characterize the evolution of mortality due to gastric cancer in the elderly. Cuba 1987-2015 according to selected sociodemographic variables. Method: ecological study of time series. Universe: 16713 deaths in the country over 60 years whose basic cause of death recorded in the death certificate was gastric cancer. Crude annual rates adjusted for age and sex groups were analyzed. Results: male sex predominated with 62.3 % and the age group of 70-79 years with 37.1 %, higher frequency of death in male 1.6: 1. 38.6 % of the deceased had white skin color, more frequent in the male sex. It was evident that at the time of death the condition of deceased without stable partners predominated in 57.4 %. Mortality rates adjusted for age groups increase after the eighth decade of life. Conclusion: the evolution of mortality from gastric cancer during the last 28 years shows an ascending tendency to predominance of the male sex, it is necessary to design and implement early detection programs that are aimed at reducing mortality in the elderly.   Keywords: Gastric cancer, older adult, mortality rate, crude and adjusted rates.
