[Population health in programs of medical ecological screening].

Socio-hygienic analysis of population health in Ryazan Province, specifically, in the Pronya River basin, revealed a number of local features: reduced birth rate, aging of the population, high incidence of acute enteric and other infections, tuberculosis, malignant tumors, diseases of the blood and hemopoietic organs in children, frequent complications of pregnancy and labor in children which are explained to a great measure by socioeconomic and socio-hygienic condition, as well as the status of the environment, of water among other things. Correlation coefficients were derived reflecting relationships between morbidity levels and the quality of potable water and foodstuffs, availability of centralized water supply and sewer system, as well as atmospheric air pollution. The data help better validate concrete measures in the program of sanitization of the population in these regions.
