ABSTRACT

Morbidity, prevalence, and mortality are key epidemiological indicators that help to assess the health of young people and draw conclusions about the state of their well-being. The aim of this study is to determine the main trends in morbidity, prevalence, and mortality among youth aged 14 to 28 years for the period from 2018 to 2021. Based on population-based data on cases of diseases and fatalities in the age group 14-28 years in the Republic of Kazakhstan for the period 2018-2021, the dynamics of morbidity (total and primary) and mortality rates were analysed and studied. The period from 2018 to 2021 in the Republic of Kazakhstan is characterized by a decrease in prevalence (from 72,267.9 to 62,112 per 100,000; b=-3,770.6; p=0.05) and morbidity (from 46,117.4 to 37,648.6 per 100,000; b=-3,035.4; p=0.029), and an increase in mortality (from 52.7 to 75.8 per 100,000; b=7.67; p=0.153). The main conclusion that can be drawn is that in the dynamics in the period of 2018-2021 in the youth population of the Republic of Kazakhstan, there is a reliable decrease in the prevalence and morbidity rates and a statistically insignificant increase in the mortality rate. Data on the health status of the young generation can be applied to the development and implementation of preventive programmes and educational activities aimed at minimizing risks and raising awareness of young people about a healthy lifestyle.
