[The population-demographic structure and the prevalence of multifactorial diseases affecting the viability of the population of Kursk region].
A significant effect of the population structure on the incidence of multifactorial diseases affecting the viability of the adult population was found in rural districts of Kursk oblast. The diseases studied were chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema, pneumosclerosis, and atherosclerosis. The incidence of multifactorial pathology increased with an increase in the homozygosity level of district populations. On average, the population structure affected the incidence of multifactorial diseases by 30-50%.
