Alimentation-dependent prevalence: regional study

Introduction. It is widely known that suboptimal nutrition can trigger the mechanisms of development or progression of alimentary-dependent diseases (ADD).

Aim is to study the trend in alimentary-dependent morbidity in the adult population of the Republic of Buryatia (RB).

Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of morbidity for 2014–2023. The RB population in comparison with the data for the Far Eastern Federal District and the Russian Federation. The assessment of the actual power supply was carried out using software.

Results. Comparison of the average ADD indices for the RB for 2019–2023 compared to 2014–2018 showed an increase by 1.23 times for diseases of the circulatory system and 1.17 times for diseases of the endocrine system. The sigmal deviation method revealed that the ADD prevalence in the RB for 2019–2023 exceeds the regional average level by from 2.1 to 8.5% for thyrotoxicosis, diabetes mellitus, including type II, and obesity, the average federative level from 4.4 to 9.7% for diabetes mellitus, including type II, and thyrotoxicosis. In the diet, there is a deficiency of B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and a sodium surplus.

Limitations. The results of the study of ADD among the adult population of the region and the nutritional characteristics in the workers of the industrial center clearly do not prove the causality of the formation of these diseases.

Conclusion. The identified ADD features require the coordinated work of an interdisciplinary team of experts and the entire community focused on optimal nutrition.

Compliance with ethical standards. This study does not require the conclusion of a biomedical ethics committee or other documents.
