[Dynamics of general and primary morbidity of digestive organs in the Udmurt Republic].

We studied the dynamics of morbidity of the digestive apparatus including peptic ulcer, gastritis, duodenitis and mortality in the Udmurt Republic from 1992 to 2002. We revealed the decrease of morbidity of the digestive apparatus and stable data for peptic ulcer but the increase of mortality from the digestive apparatus pathologies on the whole and from complications of peptic ulcer. The mortality from the digestive apparatus diseases and peptic ulcer is forecasted to increase in the next years if the same social and economic conditions are preserved and there are no changes in the health-care system.
