title: [Ethnic aspects of the prevalence of chronic ear, nose, and throat pathology in indigenous and alien urban adult populations of Khakassia].
abstract: This paper presents characteristics of prevalence and structure of chronic otorhinolaringologic pathologies among native and alien urban residents of the Republic of Khakassia. A total of 2,607 subjects were selected and examined at random. Results of the cross-section study suggest high prevalence of ENT organ diseases among the examined population regardless of ethnic background. Comparative analysis of prevalence indices in the Europeoids and the Khakass revealed a number of specific differences in the epidemiology of ear, nose, and throat diseases between the two groups.
