abstract: The clinical and ethnic characteristics of patients with discirculatory encephalopathy in separate regions of The Republic Sakha (Yakutia) were studied. The analysis of risk factors has shown that the leading reasons of vascular defeat of a brain in all surveyed patients were the atherosclerosis and an arterial hypertension. However, in the patients living in Northern areas of The Republic Sakha (Yakutia) where the ecological situation has remained better, these risk factors were present less often. Clinical symptoms of discirculatory encephalopathy, as well as numerous subjective and clinical displays, have been most expressed in the patients living in Viljujsky region of the Republic, adverse ecologically.
