CHARACTERISTICS OF ENDEMIC RISK FACTORS OF CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE IN THE KOMI REPUBLIC

Introduction. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the most widespread pulmonary diseases. The important feature of conditions of emergence of COPD is long influence of etiological factors and risk factors. Detection of risk factors is urgent and necessary for well-timed diagnosis, purpose of adequate treatment, improvement of scheduled maintenance. The objective is to show the negative impact of individual etiological factors and of risk factors of COPD among adult population in one of the regions of the Komi Republic for the 2013–2016 period. Material and methods. Materials of medical examination among the adult population in the urban-type settlement Zheshart of the Komi Republic for the period of 2013–2016. The patients were divided into three age groups: from 21 to 36 years, from 39 to 60 years, from 60 years and older; men and women. Among the unfavorable etiological and risk factors a special attention was paid to climate, smoking, low physical activity, irrational nutrition. Results. The Komi Republic is characterized by a cold and severe climate. The adverse climatic factors promote development of COPD, especially in patients with genetic predisposition to pulmonary diseases. The percentage of smokers is high among the population and male smokers on average by 40.6 % more than women smokers. Smoking is mainly common at the age from 21 years old up to 36 years old. The number of patients with low physical activity remains at steadily high level. The number of women with low physical activity exceeds number of men in two and more times. Most of all patients with low physical activity (as well as with irrational nutrition) are noted at the age of 39–60 years. An alarming tendency is prevalence of an irrational nutrition. The number of the women eating irrationally exceeds the number of men in 1.5 -2 times. The number of patients with irrational nutrition is less at the age of 21–36 years. Conclusions. The serious risk factors of COPD are negative climatic conditions, low physical activity, smoking, irrational nutrition. Pulmonary rehabilitation is necessary for patients with COPD. A basis of pulmonary rehabilitation is the physical exercises. Identification and accounting of risk factors of COPD is important for improvement of scheduled maintenance, early diagnostics and purpose of adequate therapeutic treatment.
