Abstract

Introduction. One of the mechanisms for implementing the state policy targets in achieving wellbeing, improving the quality and duration of active life, reducing mortality, including at working age, is to reduce risks and eliminate factors that contribute to the development of obesity.

The aim of the study is a hygienic assessment of the indicator of the primary morbidity of obesity in the population of the Moscow Region, the Central Federal District (CFD), the Russian Federation (RF). 

Materials and methods. The research materials were the databases of the regional information fund for social and hygienic monitoring of the Moscow Region for 2011–2019 (2020). The study was performed by a retrospective comparative analysis of intensive indicators of the primary morbidity of obesity in three age groups, calculated for 100 thousand cases of the corresponding age. 

Results. Obesity of the population of the Moscow Region occupies a significant share in the structure of diseases of the endocrine system, eating disorders and metabolic disorders. Among children, the incidence is 34.1% of all diseases of this class, among adolescents – 44.2%, adults-21.4%. The incidence of obesity among all age categories of the population of the Moscow Region is significantly lower than the level of the same indicator for the Central Federal District and for the Russian Federation, excluding the period 2011–2014, when the incidence of adolescents in the Moscow Region was higher or at the level of the indicator values for Russia. In 2019. among the 18 subjects of the Central Federal District, the Moscow Region occupies the 16th rank position in descending order of the value of the indicator of obesity among adolescents and adults for the first time. The lowest indicator for the Central Federal District is established among children. 

Conclusion. The implementation of the measures of the federal project “Strengthening Public Health” aimed at providing the population with a full, balanced, rational diet will reduce the risk of alimentary diseases, including obesity.
