Associations of regional living conditions and morbidity in the Russian Federation

Abstract
Introduction. Previous studies indicate associations of the morbidity of the population with certain characteristics of Russian regions, without using an integral approach in the analysis of regional living conditions. The purpose of the study: the purpose of the study is to assess the associations of regional living conditions with morbidity in the subjects of the Russian Federation. Materials and methods. From the official data of the Federal State Statistics Service, the indicators of general morbidity and main classes in 81 subjects for the period 2017–2021 were taken. For a comprehensive assessment of regional living conditions, previously developed regional indexes were used. Statistical analysis was performed using linear regression analysis. Results. An increase in the overall incidence, by 6.2% and 8.0%, respectively, is associated with a deterioration in the social living conditions of the population and an increase in economic development in the region. For certain classes of diseases, there are numerous associations with Socio-geographical, Demographic, Economic, Industrial and environmental regional indices. Conclusion. The conducted research indicates the importance of the influence of regional living conditions on morbidity in the regions of Russia. The results obtained can be used for in-depth analysis and monitoring of public health indicators.
