Abstract
Annotation. Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCD) represent a major public health problem in recent decades. NCD kill 41 million people annually, accounting for 74% of all deaths worldwide. WHO predicts that the total number of deaths from NCD will rise to 55 million by 2030 unless drastic measures are taken. Cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease and diabetes are the four leading causes of premature mortality among NCD. Multimorbidity affects 65% of people over 65 years of age, requiring more patient-centred and complex models of care. The aim of the study was to conduct regional monitoring of risk factors for chronic noncommunicable diseases in geriatric patients. Outpatient charts of 152 patients aged 60 years and older who had undergone COVID-9 and had undergone an in-depth adult check-up were used for the study. The average age of the patients who underwent the dispensary was 70.0±5.7 years. Questionnaire survey of 152 patients aged 65 years and older to identify NCD and senile asthenia showed that the highest proportion of patients had risk factors for cardiovascular diseases - 63.2%, osteoporosis - 40.8%, GI diseases - 28%, senile asthenia - 27% and polypragmasia - 20.4%. 32.2% of respondents noted a decrease in memory, perception of material, impaired comprehension, loss of ability to distribute time, 30.9% experienced a decrease in mood, loss of energy, depressive state, 24.3% each experienced vision and hearing problems that impair the quality of life, and 22.4% of persons over 65 experienced difficulty in walking. Based on the results of the study, data collection modules based on the STEPS system were identified for the step-by-step assessment of risk factors for the development of chronic non-communicable diseases, and a model for a comprehensive approach to improving the health of citizens aged 60 years and older, who have the highest risk of developing NCD, was proposed.
