Abstract
The dynamic change in the socio-cultural environment and economic conditions of life in modern society makes it necessary to conduct the repeated research of peptic ulcer (PU) risk factors. The article presents the results of analyzing risk factors’ data of 176 patients who were treated in hospitals of the city of Kursk during the period from 2002 till 2012. It was revealed that the percentage of unemployed among such patients reached 44.9% (m = 3.7), though the most (75.6%) of the patients were of employable age, and the average age amounted to 48.1 years (m = 1.23). It was shown that the presence of PU has a significant negative impact on the patients’ financial state, eventually increasing the treatment costs ratio (z = 0.46, P<0.01), with a concomitant age-related increase in expenditures on food (z = 0.11, P<0.05). The article also presents the effect of pernicious habits, professional hazards, and stresses on duration of the disease, and the degree of severity.

Summary
Динамичное изменение социокультурной среды и экономических условий жизни в современном обществе делает необходимым проведение повторных исследований, посвященных анализу факторов риска развития язвенной болезни (ЯБ). THE ROLE OF SOCIAL RISK FACTORS IN PEPTIC ULCER DEVELOPMENT IN KURSK REGION Lazarenko V.A., Antonov A.E. Актуальность проблемы изучения причин развития язвенной болезни (ЯБ) определяется ее значительной распространенностью, достигающей 12% [4, 5], риском развития угрожающих жизни осложнений, выявляемых у 15-21% таких пациентов [1]. Оценка социальных факторов риска развития этой патологии не утрачивает актуальность. Динамичное изменение социокультурной среды и экономических условий жизни в современном обществе делает необходимым проведение повторных исследований, посвященных анализу факторов риска развития ЯБ, оказывающих наиболее значительное влияние в настоящее время [3]. Целью нашего исследования стало изучение современных социальных факторов риска развития ЯБ в Курской области
