THE ANALYSIS OF MAJOR RISK FACTORS OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES AMONG INHABITANTS OF THE NORTH REGION.

Area of Science:

• Environmental Health
• Indigenous Studies
• Cardiovascular Disease Research

Background:

• The Far North, specifically the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), presents severe climate-environmental conditions.
• Indigenous populations have unique adaptive strategies developed over centuries.
• Recent changes including urbanization, globalization, and ecological deterioration threaten traditional life and organismal resilience.

Purpose of the Study:

• To analyze major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) among the indigenous population of the North.
• To investigate the health impacts of changing living conditions on indigenous communities.
• To address the "menacing" health changes, particularly in children.

Main Methods:

• Analysis of major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
• Focus on the indigenous population of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
• Investigating the link between environmental and social changes and health outcomes.

Main Results:

• Cardiovascular diseases pose a significant health risk to the indigenous population.
• Children's health is particularly vulnerable to these risk factors.
• Environmental and socio-economic changes are linked to declining health in the region.

Conclusions:

• Urgent interventions are needed to mitigate cardiovascular disease risks in the indigenous population of the Far North.
• Further research is required to understand the complex interplay of factors affecting indigenous health.
• Preserving traditional knowledge while adapting to modern challenges is crucial for the well-being of these communities.
