The article evaluates the trends and factors of preventable mortality in the Republic of Tuva. We formulate proposals to reduce mortality and increase life expectancy. The authors used the Federal State Statistics Service data on mortality in the Republic of Tuva and in the Russian Federation during the COVID-19 pandemic and before its onset, as well as bioimpedance monitoring data from the Health Center of the Republic of Tuva.
We used a list of preventable causes of death that were grouped by levels of preventive measures. This allows identifying the most relevant focus areas: problems related to the conditions and ways of people’s lives, issues of early detection and timely treatment of oncological diseases, problems of the quality of medical care in the treatment of socially significant diseases. The prevalence of nutritional risk factors for the development of chronic diseases in the examined sample of persons aged 18 years and older (over 5,000 people) was estimated according to their physical development data.
Young people are recognized as a risk group in the Republic of Tuva. If primary prevention is the most relevant method of reducing mortality among young men, then for young women it is early detection of malignant diseases and the quality of medical care.
The results of the study have shown that COVID-19 caused relatively less demographic damage to the republic than to many other territories of Russia.
