Abstract
Introduction. Measures for the prevention of diseases, their timely diagnosis and effective treatment are based on data on the features and trends of morbidity in different groups of the population, which requires constant quality monitoring. The Aim of the Study. to identify the features and trends in the incidence of the genitourinary system diseases among the population of Ukraine. Material and Methods. When performing research bibliographic, epidemiological and medical-statistical methods were used. Results. The structure of incidence and prevalence of the genitourinary system diseases in population of Ukraine is estimated. High levels of incidence and prevalence of the genitourinary system diseases among the population are established, as evidenced by the third ranked place of urugenital diseases in the structure of incidence and the fifth place — in the structure of the prevalence of all diseases. The negative tendencies in the indicators dynamics during 1991–2017 were revealed, in particular, the increase in the incidence of the genitourinary system diseases of Ukrainian population by 58.8 %, prevalence – by 87.2 %, including among children – by 2 times and by 83.2 % respectively. The structure of morbidity in different age and sex groups is characterized. It was found that the incidence of diseases of the genitourinary system of the female population was higher than that of males (by 4.5 times); of the working age population – by 2.0 times compared to the population older than the able-bodied age; of urban population – by 49.8 % higher compared with rural. The differences in the incidence of certain nosological forms depending on the age of the population and the sex are revealed. The estimation of incidence and prevalence of diseases of the genitourinary system in certain administrative territories of Ukraine is given. Conclusions. The analysis of statistical information revealed significant rates and negative tendencies in the increase of the morbidity of the population for diseases of the genitourinary system, features of the prevalence of pathology in the regional, sexual, and age aspects. The established features and trends require further indepth study and taking into account in the development of medical-preventive measures.
