Characteristics of haematological pathology in Siberia and the North.
The cross-sectional epidemiological study of the female and male population aged 25-64 years and that of adolescent girls aged 13-18 years, residents of the three regions of Siberia--Mountainous Altai, Novosibirsk city and Chukotka--has detected a high prevalence of hidden, latent iron deficiency states and iron deficiency anaemias. They have been found in every third woman, every third-fifth adolescent girl of Novosibirsk and every eighth man of Chukotka. Peculiarities in risk factors of these states, including ethnically dependent ones have been detected. Leukopaenias are more frequent in Chukotka than in Novosibirsk.
