Estimation of the morbidity of persons of an organized collective in the Subarctic belt

Abstract

Introduction. Weather, climatic conditions, and technogenic pollution of the habitat can determine the characteristics of the response of the organism of various groups of the population. 
 Purpose — assessment of the morbidity of persons of an organized team in conditions of ecological trouble in the Subarctic climatic zone. 
 Materials and methods. The object of observation is the prevalence (including primary incidence) according to ICD-10 for 2016–2021 among military personnel serving under contract in Norilsk (n = 200). The observed male cohort was a newcomer population, engaged in mental work; the share of persons with work experience in the specialty in this climatic zone of 3–10 years was 80.0%. We compared the incidence rates of the observed group and the adult population of Norilsk. Assessed working conditions according to the intensity of the labour process. 
 Results. The working conditions are harmful, the class of working conditions is 3.3. In the subarctic zone, under anthropogenic load, the prevalence of diseases and primary morbidity in people of mental labour are 1.7 times and 24.0% higher than in the adult population of Norilsk; in the 6 leading classes (with the exception of injuries), the primary incidence exceeded that in the adult population of the Krasnoyarsk Territory by 1.9–10.8 times. In the long-term trend, the prevalence and incidence increased with absolute values, respectively, by 63.8‰ and 57.5‰, deviations from the base value of 1.7% and 6.1% per year. 
 Research limitation. Male persons from among the alien population engaged in mental work in an organized team in a dysfunctional environment.
 Conclusion. To prevent the morbidity of the population in adverse living conditions, it is necessary not only to assess the weather and environmental troubles to develop preventive measures to reduce the anthropogenic load, prevent cold risk, but also to analyze the incidence in the management of labor in a particular production.
