title: [Influence of social factors on tuberculosis mortality, effectiveness of sociomedical preventive measures in Moscow in the 20th century].
abstract: The correlations between the time series of weather values of sociodemographic, socioeconomic, and epidemiological parameters of tuberculosis (death rates) in the 20th century were studied. Analysis of population indices confirmed the association of migratory processes and the intensity of the tuberculosis epidemic situation, as well as the significance of these processes for Moscow, the necessity of their notification for assessing the sociodemographic situation to plan tuberculosis-controlling measures. The study has indicated that there is a relationship of the salary/wage that determines the income of the bulk of the population to tuberculosis mortality rates and that regulation of a migratory process, population density, and improvement of living conditions are of considerable importance in the prevention of this disease. Comparative analysis of the data in the periods when the whole contemporary rather effective complex of tuberculosis-controlling measures (1953-2000) and when the above complex were only formed (1910-1953) has demonstrated the economic efficiency of the above measures. It is stated that the system of sociomedical protective measures is a real factor that may rather effectively withstand the poor social conditions promoting the spread of tuberculosis.
