The analysis of high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the adult population as a medical and social problem and the search for ways to solve it

Abstract

Introduction.The article is devoted to the analysis of the state of cardiovascular morbidity (CVD), mortality of the population and the demographic situation, as well as determining the prevalence of CVD as a medical and social problem at the federal and regional levels. The analysis of the implementation of the policy of providing medical care to patients with CVD, modern scientific publications on the indicated problem, and the search for ways to solve the medical and social problem of high morbidity and mortality from CVD are carried out.Materials and methods.The data of official statistical information on the morbidity and mortality of the adult population of the Russian Federation and the Voronezh region for 2010–2019 were used, the works of modern domestic and foreign scientists dealing with the solution of this problem were studied.Results.It has been established that high CVD and mortality are an acute medical and social problem. Mortality from CVD in Russia in 2019 amount to 46.8% of the total number of deaths. The mortality rate from CVD in Russia exceeds that in the developed countries of the European Union. Despite the presence of positive trends in the fight against this disease, the mortality rate from CVD in the Voronezh region is higher than the average for the Russian Federation (601.8 and 573.2 per 100 thousand population, respectively). The deterioration of the demographic situation, the presence of active targeted projects in this area are the basis for conducting scientific research to find ways to duce CVD and mortality in the adult population.Conclusion.The high morbidity and mortality from CVD requires a search for new ways to solve the problem, since the existing approaches to its solution are not holistic and universal. It is urgent to develop an integrated approach that takes into account the medical and social characteristics of the adult population of the region.
