Allergic morbidity in patients of different age groups

Abstract

Aim. To analyze the regularities of the prevalence of allergic diseases in patients of different age groups.

Materials and methods. Epidemiological indices of allergic diseases were studied in children, adolescents, adults and elderly persons using official statistical data.

Results. The general and primary morbidity, allergopathology structure and its dynamics were evaluated in patients of different age groups. The data, obtained in Perm Krai and the Russian Federation, were compared.

Conclusions. The level of atopic dermatitis (AD) is the highest in children, allergic rhinitis (AR) – in adolescents, bronchial asthma (BA) – in adolescents and elderly persons. The cases of BA prevail in the structure of allergopathology in all age groups, besides children. Among children AD cases make 50.5 % of all allergic diseases. In dynamics, AD has a tendency to reduction of general morbidity in all age groups, BA – in children; a tendency to elevation is typical for AR in children and adolescents, BA – in adolescents, adults and elderly persons.
