[The analysis of age dynamics of causes of mortality of population of elderly age groups as reserve of maintaining population of older able-bodied age].

The article analyzes age dynamics of initial causes of death according to records in medical death certificates of population of older age groups. Materials and methods. The records of causes of death of 34.914 persons aged 60 years and older were used as primary source of information. The initial cause of death was determined according to the ICD-10 rules. The rate of registration by reason of death was calculated as intensive value per 100 deaths in concrete age and sex group. Each cause was coded according to the ICD-10 rules (revision 2014-2016). The belonging to group was determined by first character (letter) in four-digit code that corresponded to the Class. On the basis of analysis of structure of causes of death, the group A of causes that included five Classes of ICD-10, determined 81.4% of all deaths in population aged 60 years and older. Two Classes: "Diseases of the circulatory system" (Class IX) and "Neoplasms" (Class II) determine in all studied age groups more than a half of all deaths (from 55% to 71% of males and from 59% to 67% in females) and namely they determine mortality rate in older age groups. There are no gender differences in age characteristics of registration rate in these groups (p > 0.05), however age dynamics differ. In case of diseases of circulatory system initial cause of death is increase rate of registration at increasing of age. In case of neoplasms at increasing of age decrease of registration rate as initial cause of death is established. At that, rate of decline is higher than rate of increase that determines certain decrease of structural significance of combined contribution of these two groups of causes at increasing of age. The Group B of causes, including three Classes of ICD-10 "Respiratory diseases" (Class X), "Diseases of the digestive system" (Class XI) and "Diseases of the nervous system" (Class VI), determined in overall 11.9% of all deaths in population aged 60 years and older. The age dynamics of causes of death of population of older age groups exists for certain groups of causes and it should be considered in organizing medical care of population of older age groups.

[The analysis of need in medical care of elder able-bodied women with diseases of blood circulation system].

The purpose of the study is to analyze demand in medical care at diseases of circulatory system in women in age groups of 50-64 years old. The database of cases of medical care support of population age groups 50-64 years (the database of calls of Territorial Foundation of Mandatory Medical Insurance of the Moscow region) was used as primary information source. After correlation analysis of dependencies between indicators of demand in modeling, four indicators were left, three of them were volumetric and one frequency. Three blocks were used as basic causes included in Class IX "Diseases of the circulatory system" (ICD-10 version 2014-2016): 1. I10-I15 (Hypertensive diseases [Diseases characterized by high blood pressure]); 2. I20-I25 (Coronary heart disease); 3. I60-I69 (Cerebrovascular diseases). The study demonstrated that dynamics of frequency and volume indicators of medical care demand among women in age groups of 50-64 years testifies that in age range of 50-60 years there is linear or close to linear increase of demand, after which trend of increasing demand changed to downward one. The data obtained testify that age (as variable) explains considerable proportion of all fluctuations of volume of medical care in demand in women of 50-64 years. This result can be considered quite satisfactory for applying proposed model in planning volumes of medical care. It is noted that decreasing of demand increase rate is observed at age of termination of employment of majority of female population.

[Methodical approach to the construction of the index of doctors' confidence in their activities].

INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the importance of developing a state policy to increase the attractiveness of a doctor's work and counteract professional burnout. The trust of doctors in their work determines the state of human resources in the field of healthcare. The development of an approach to the organization of monitoring the trust of doctors will allow identifying organizations at an early stage in which there is a decrease in the confidence of doctors in their activities. The purpose of the study is to develop and test a methodological approach to calculating the index of trust of doctors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To construct the index, a list of statements was developed that are applicable for a comprehensive assessment of the doctor's activities. The approbation of the developed approach was carried out as part of a pilot sociological study in which 346 doctors from different regions of Russia took part. The significance of the statements used in the assessment was confirmed by binary probit regression. RESULTS: The analysis made it possible to calculate the index of doctors' trust for the obtained sample, equal to 62,5%. The results of the study can be used to assess the attitude of doctors to their activities both at the regional level and at the level of individual organizations. The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation can use the results obtained to develop approaches to increasing the attractiveness of the medical profession to increase the public health of Russia.

[The cognitive status and aspects of life quality of the Russian researchers].

The publications analysis confirms necessity of studying both status of cognitive capacities of researchers and factors associated with cognitive aging. THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: To assess cognitive functions and quality of life of researchers of state institutions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The single-stage section of state institutions was applied to arrange sampling of 53 researchers (28 females and 25 males) aged from 22 to 73 years. The respondents filled questionnaires "Cognitive screening", "Age is not a drawback", "Depression Geriatric Scale", "Russian validated version of QOL questionnaire SF-36". RESULTS: As in general population, among researchers certain decrease in quality of life with age was established. The respondents aged from 50 to 59 years demonstrated lower indices on scales of physical functioning (p = 0.04), body pain (p = 0.03) and role functioning due to physical condition (p = 0.006). At that, indices of vital activity and social functioning tended to improvement with age. The cognitive impairments were absent in 96.23% of researchers aged from 22 to 73 years and they were present in 1.89% of respondents. In 47.17% of respondents aged from 22 to 67 years, no senile asthenia syndrome was observed. The preasthenia was registered in 39.62% of respondents aged from 24 to 69 years. The syndrome of senile asthenia was established in 11.32% of respondents aged 25-73 years. The depression was absent in 83.02% of respondents aged from 22 to 69 years and it was probably present in 7.55% of respondents aged from 25 to 33 and 49 years. CONCLUSION: According to data of complex screening self-testing, it is established that current state of researchers is characterized by availability of complex of problems related to health disorders, decreased cognitive functions, development of premature aging syndrome and presence of significant number of risk factors of health disorders due to high frequency and combination of these factors. The relationship between cognitive functions and quality of life of researchers is established, in particular, according to scales "Physical functioning", "General health", "Vitality", "Social functioning", "Mental health".
