title: [Methodological approach to calculating average growth (increment) rates in epidemiological analysis].
abstract: In an analysis of dynamic rows with a view to the calculation of the rate of growth (increase) with the use of the geometric mean, it is expedient to utilize not the actual data, but the characteristics of the straight line aligned by the least-square method. The calculation of the average rate of growth (increase) by the actual data is recommended only in case of the monotonous change of the measured characteristic.
