STUDY OF THE STATE OF HEALTH OF THE POPULATION OF PRYKARPATTIA AND CHANGES IN DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF RESIDENTS OF THE REGION DEPENDING ON GEOGRAPHICAL AND ECOLOGICAL LIVING CONDITIONS

The work uses a set of methods (population-statistical, questionnaire, clinical-genealogical), which are adequate for the purpose and correspond to the principle of a mandatory combination of several approaches to the analysis of the state of physical and genetic health in the human population. It was established that the dynamics of the age structure of the population of Prykarpattia is characterized by a decrease in the number of people younger than working age by 29%, minor fluctuations in the share of people of working age and an increase in the share of elderly people by 14.6%. The dependence of the distribution of the long-lived people of Prykarpattia on the area of residence, ecological and socio-psychological conditions was revealed. The likely significance of observing natural biorhythms, physical activity, limited nutrition, and the absence of occupational hazards has been established. The negative impact of the urbanized environment and harmful habits on life expectancy and longevity has been proven.
