Analysis of the incidence of mental disorders and behavioral disorders among the population of the North-West Federal District, considering gender and age

Abstract

Mental health is one of the most serious medical and social problems, which is determined primarily by socio- economic factors. In this regard, it is important to conduct systematic research and analysis of the incidence of mental disorders and behavioral disorders. The dynamics is studied and a comparative analysis of the indicators of the general and primary incidence of mental disorders in the North-West Federal District over three years is carried out in comparison with the indicators for the whole of the Russian Federation. To analyze the indicators of general and primary morbidity, statistical forms No. 10 «Information on diseases of mental disorders and behavioral disorders (except for diseases associated with the use of psychoactive substances)» were used for 2016, 2017 and 2018. The indicators were calculated per 100 thousand people of the corresponding population; incidence analysis was carried out by comparing the dynamics over the years. It was found that the overall incidence of mental disorders in the Northwestern Federal District increased in 2018 compared from 2016 by 2.7% and in 2018 amounted to 2654,2 per 100 thousand people, which is lower than the same indicator in the Russian Federation by 0,9%. The primary incidence in the Northwestern Federal District also increased by 11%, and over the course of three years remained higher than in the Russian Federation by 31,1% and amounted to 391,9 per 100 thousand people. Among children aged 15–17 years in the Russian Federation, this indicator increased by 12,8% over three years, and in other age groups it tends to decrease.
