[The epidemiology, risk factors and present-day aspects of allergic disease prevention in an industrial center].
The article is dedicated to the topical problem of allergic diseases in various population groups of a large industrial region of Moscow suburb, and presents a brief review of present-day epidemiological data on allergic pathology prevalence as well as authors' own data on the morbidity of bronchial asthma, allergic dermatoses, and allergic rhinitis. The paper also contains the results of an analysis of allergic pathology dynamics within 5 to 10 years, and a retrospective analysis of allergic pathology structure in adolescents. The researchers undertook a multifactor analysis of population habitat in the town Mitishchy, based upon ecological and hygienic data concerning atmospheric air and water composition. The study points to the role played by industrial environment in the appearance of allergic skin diseases. Complex measures on allergic disease prevention are considered, and an effective pathogenically grounded method of ozonotherapy is suggested as one of prospective non-drug means of treatment.
