Insights

This study analyzes child health in Moscow from 2016-2020 using disease registration data. It reveals health status trends across various pediatric age groups.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Health
  • Public Health Surveillance
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Understanding child health status is crucial for public health planning.
  • Moscow's pediatric population health requires ongoing monitoring.
  • Disease trends provide insights into population health dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the health status of children in Moscow.
  • To analyze morbidity patterns across different pediatric age groups.
  • To provide data for public health interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized population data and federal statistical observation form No. 12.
  • Analyzed disease registration data from 2016 to 2020.
  • Calculated morbidity rates per 100,000 population for specific age cohorts.

Main Results:

  • Morbidity rates were calculated for age groups 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, 0-14, and 15-17 years.
  • Data provides a snapshot of pediatric health status in Moscow during the study period.
  • Identified disease prevalence across key pediatric demographics.

Conclusions:

  • The study offers valuable insights into the health landscape of Moscow's children.

Factors Affecting Illness01:18

Factors Affecting Illness

When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness,...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Dimensions of Health and Illness

The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.

Causality in Epidemiology01:21

Causality in Epidemiology

Causality or causation is a fundamental concept in epidemiology, vital for understanding the relationships between various factors and health outcomes. Despite its importance, there's no single, universally accepted definition of causality within the discipline. Drawing from a systematic review, causality in epidemiology encompasses several definitions, including production, necessary and sufficient, sufficient-component, counterfactual, and probabilistic models. Each has its strengths and...

Infection01:20

Infection

When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.
