[A rank-order method for the integrated assessment of trends in all-cause and cardiovascular mortality rates in the subjects of the Russian Federation in 2006-2012].

Aim: To rank the subjects of the Russian Federation by the trend direction in all-cause and cardiovascular mortality (including mortality from coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular diseases) as a whole and at able-bodied age.

Subjects And Methods: The investigation used mortality rates from to the 2006 and 2012 data available in the Federal State Statistics Service on 81 subjects of the Russian Federation. According to mortality rates, each region was assigned a rank in 2006 and 2012.

[HEALTH LOSSES FROM MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION CAUSED BY AIR CHEMICAL POLLUTION OF THE INDUSTRIAL CENTRE].

Losses of health from myocardial infarction in the city of Kemerovo were estimated accordingly to the disability-adjusted life year (DALY) index, as well as its compartments: YLL (years lost due to premature death) and YLD (years lost disability). When ranking districts of the city of Kemerovo both in terms of chemicals exposure and the value of the DALY index there was revealed the opposite direction of these indices. The performance of the correlation analysis of health losses with concentrations of chemical contaminants allowed to reveal a feedback between them among the elderly patients (60 years and older) and direct--in young (up to 45 years old) cases.

[Particulate matter air pollution effects on the incidence of heart diseases among the urban population].

Increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases induces an urgent need to identify and clear delineation of the most important risk factors for the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Unlike the second part of XXth century, today the World Health Organization considers particulate matter ambient pollution one of the most important predictors of cardiovascular events. However, results of similar studies conducted in the last decades, is highly fragmented.
