[Regional features of present-day polymorbidity of internal diseases].

: Analysis of transnosological and trans-systemic polymorbidity for 2003-2011 in a general therapy clinic included 23310 patients (9111 men and 14199 women). It was supplemented by comparative analysis of morbidity in southern West Siberia and Yakutiya. The assessment was performed for three age groups (16-39, 40-59, over 60 years). The mean number of nosological forms (transnosological morbidity) and affected systems of organs (trans-systemic morbidity) averaged 5.19 +/- 0.01 and 4.09 +/- 0.01 per patient respectively (4.93 +/- 0.02 and 3.92 +/- 0.02 in men, 5.36 +/- 0.02 and 4.19 +/- 0.01 in women). The prevalence of polymorbidity was significantly higher in women than in men and in Yakutia higher than in West Siberia. The differences tend to be smoothed in recent years. Transnosological morbidity coefficients in male and female residents of Novosibirsk region increased from 4.14 +/- 0.03 and 4.60 +/- 0.04 respectively in 2003-2005 to 5.48 +/- 0.05 and 6.70 +/- 0.06 in 2009-2011 (p < 0.0001). In Yakutiya this growth in men was less pronounced than in a more temperate climate and was practically inapparent in women.
