The medical and demographic situation in Verkhnevilyuysky, Verkhoyansky, Tattinsky and Even-Bytantaisky Districts of Yakutia (2000-2016)

The article presents a comparative description of the indicators for assessing the medical and demographic situation (birth rate, mortality, natural population growth, infant mortality, nuptiality and divorce) in Verkhnevilyuysky, Verkhoyansky, Tattinsky and Even-Bytantaisky Districts in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). These districts were selected for the study in accordance with the Program for Comprehensive Scientific Research in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) for the years 2016-2020. For the analysis of medical and demographic indicators, the percentile (centile) method was used by us in developing the criteria for the regionalization of the North of the Russian Federation and for the preparation of a number of scientific articles was applied. In general, in the indicated 4 districts, the medical and demographic situation is favorable. However, it should be noted that in some years there were levels below the average birth rate and natural population growth, as well as levels above the average of total mortality in Verkhoyansky and Eveno-Bytantaysky Disctircts, which are part of the Arctic zone of the republic. In addition, the relatively low level of marriage of the population in the four districts was observed, as well as a high infant mortality rate in Eveno-Bytantaysky District. For a full assessment of the health status of the population living in these districts, we recommend reading our articles published in the series “Medical Sciences” in 2018, which provide an analysis of morbidity and disability.
