There was done analysis of epidemiological monitoring of respiratory diseases (RD) on the territory of the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD), which allows to assess the levels, structure and regional features of the spread of pathology among different populations and territorial formations, the dynamics of the disease and its relationship with the environmental factors of the region. To organize the study, the methods of cluster, structural and comparative analysis, predictive modeling, dynamic series analysis, statistical and information-analytical methods, databases of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation were used.

The epidemiological analysis of the main indicators of RD level and dynamics in the FEFD territory indicates the presence of regional differences in the registered morbidity, the degree of which is due to the natural-climatic and socio-demographic characteristics of the habitat. 77.8% of the region's subjects are in the zone of low morbidity. At the same time, the values of maximum and minimum levels of general and primary RD morbidity in the region differ by 2.2 and 2.4 times, respectively, becoming the most pronounced among the adult population (by 3.6 times). In chronic bronchitis and COPD, the regional gradients of the registered morbidity are 10.9 and 9.8 times, respectively. It was found that the values of the primary RD morbidity in children's population in the FEFD are 14.4% higher than at the federal level, and among the adult population the gradient of values has the opposite indicators: 24.9% lower. At the same time, if the incidence of pneumonia in the region is 15.2% higher than the incidence of pneumonia in the Russian Federation as a whole, the incidence of chronic forms of RD in the region is 17.3-28.9% lower than at the federal level.

The level of primary RD morbidity in 2005-2016 in the Far Eastern Federal District increased by 23.3%, including bronchial asthma (by 20.3%) and COPD (by 47.7%), and the incidence of pneumonia significantly decreased. At the same time, the average annual rate of increase in primary RD morbidity is higher than in the Russian Federation as a whole. This is shown by the predictive model of morbidity dynamics, the linear trends of which are more progressive in the FEFD compared to the dynamics at the federal level. The rate of positive dynamics of morbidity, significantly exceeding the same rate of morbidity growth at the federal level, indicates an increase in the level of availability and quality of medical care for patients with pulmonological profile, timely and early detection of chronic forms of respiratory diseases, positive motivation of the population for treatment in medical organizations. These trends in the dynamics of the registered morbidity are due to the active introduction of effective methods of diagnosis and treatment of chronic respiratory diseases, preventive and educational programs implemented both at the federal and regional level.
