Population health as a basis for sustainable development of a region

Abstract

A healthy life in harmony with the environment is one of the principles of sustainable development. We consider the incidence of the population as an indicator of the health of the environment. On the example of Samara region, we analyzed the infectious morbidity associated with natural conditions and diseases that depend on social interaction within the human population. The study was carried out on the basis of data on infectious morbidity in 35 administrative and municipal divisions of Samara region (8 cities and 27 municipal districts) provided by the Office of Rospotrebnadzor of the Russian Federation. On the basis of data on natural focal morbidity, we carried out zoning of the territory: 1) by the level of natural focal morbidity; 2) by the incidence of natural focal diseases. The authors, based on the data on the incidence of chronic viral hepatitis B and C, assess the age structure of the incidence. The authors analyze the relationship between the incidence rate of chronic hepatitis B and C with the level of socio-economic development in the region. The calculation of the socio-economic damage from the incidence of chronic hepatitis C was carried out. The statistical analysis of the influence of socio-economic indicators in the region on the incidence of tuberculosis was carried out. The research was carried out by methods of comparative and statistical analysis. Some formulas for calculating socio-economic damage are given.
