Prevalence of osteopenic syndrome and osteoporosis among residents of the older age group of Kyrgyzstan

Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease. However, because it is asymptomatic, it cannot be diagnosed until a clinical event such as a fracture occurs. It is osteoporotic fractures, not osteoporosis itself, that lead to noticeable clinical and economic consequences.The aim. To study the frequency of osteopenia and osteoporosis in the older age group of the population of Kyrgyzstan using ultrasound bone densitometry.Materials and methods. A total of 1988 people were examined – 1105 women, 883 men. By age, the patients were divided into three age groups: 40–59, 60–74 and 75–90 years old. A portable ultrasonic bone densitometer SONOST-3000 (South Korea) was used to measure bone mineral density.Results. The prevalence of osteoporosis, osteopenia, and normal bone mineral density in the first age group was 20.9 %, 40.0 % and 39.1 %; in the second group – 30.2 %, 38.9 % and 30.9 %, and in the third group – 39.9 %, 34.9 % and 25.2 %, respectively. The incidence of osteoporosis increased with age and was gender-dependent – more common in women (p < 0.05 and p < 0.041, respectively). The probability of developing osteoporosis was lower in patients with a higher body weight (p < 0.002). Smoking had a bad effect on bone density (p < 0.001), physical exercise, on the contrary, inhibited the development of osteoporosis (p < 0.001). The use of alcohol and tea had no effect on the development of osteoporosis in our study (p = 0.421, p = 0.387, respectively).Conclusions. The study of osteoporosis from an epidemiological point of view in Kyrgyz residents revealed a higher-than-expected incidence of osteoporosis according to densitometry. Further large-scale studies are needed throughout the country, which will help to understand the outcome of low bone mineral density in the population of Kyrgyz residents

Age and gender aspects of the association of generalized obesity with development of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events (results of the prospective cohort study “Interepepid”)

Background. Currently, obesity has become one of the most important medical and social problems in the world due to its high prevalence. Numerous literature data indicate that high BMI is associated with increased mortality from cardiovascular diseases.The aim: to study the relationship between overweight and generalized obesity with the development of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events among residents of the Chui region of the Kyrgyz Republic, taking into account gender and age.Material and methods. This study was carried out as part of the international crosssectional epidemiological study “Interepid”. The total follow-up period was 7 years. Life status at the end of the follow-up period was monitored in 1096 respondents out of 1341 initial cohorts (response – 82.1 %). The endpoints were cases of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events. The frequency of events was assessed using methods of analysis of survival (Cox proportional hazard regression model, parametric survival models, survival by the Kaplan – Meier method).Results. A total of 181 cases of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events (16.44 %) were recorded during the follow-up. In persons with normal body weight, the incidence of cardiovascular complications was 10 %. In overweight individuals, the value of this indicator increased and reached 17.99 % (p˂ 0.001), and in individuals with obesity – 24.5 % (p˂ 0.0001). The increase in the frequency of events with the increase in body mass index did not depend on the gender of the respondents but was typical only for people under 60 years of age. For elderly patients, there was no relationship between BMI and the development of cardiovascular complications. In contrast, the relative risk had an insignificant tendency to decrease by 2.6 % for every 1 kg/m2 increase in body mass index (RR – 0.974; 95% CI: 0.924–1.025).Conclusion. The increase of body mass index above 25 kg/m2 is an independent risk factor for the development of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events in the analyzed cohort of the Chui region residents, regardless of gender, but only in persons under 60 years of age

AGRICULTURE AND BIOLOGY JOURNAL OF NORTH AMERICA Possibilities of the biological method of cotton plant protection

ABSTRACT In Uzbekistan biological protection of cotton from cotton borers (CB) and other pests is spent in the system of the integrated protection of plants (ISPP). For this purpose on republic regions the network of a laboratory-factory lifetime of bio agents is adjusted: trichogramma (Tr. pintoi, Tr. evanescens) -against eggs of borers, braconа (Bracon hebetor) -against caterpillars of the pests. Simultaneously turn out a polytrophic lacewing (Chrysopa carnea) -for enrichment of agro biocenosis. For establishment of value of biomaterials quality in aggression and received efficiency in 2007-2008 the field experiments have been made. For the standard the populations from specialized bio laboratory of Tashkent state agrarian university are taken. Populations from local bio laboratories, on quality differing from the standard were compared. Entonophages were used on signals of pheromone traps for CB. The account of the pests was spent by the technique established in republic. As a result of experiences the following has been established: biological efficiency of 3 multiple outlets of trichogramma on 1 gr/ha does not exceed 44,3 % (13,2-21,2 % -of not qualitative and, 24,3-44,3 % -of standard trichogramma). The same results has shown also the colonization of bracon (2-multiple outlet of a parasite in parities 1:10-15 caterpillars against each generation of borers) -17,5 %-34,2 % and 21,4-47,2 % accordingly. The conclusion on necessity of maintenance of quality of a biomaterial at high demanded level has been made

Analysis of Anticoagulant Therapy in the Elderly Patients, in Clinical Practice of Family Medicine Centers in the Kyrgyz Republic

Aim. To study the current state of the anticoagulant's prescription in elderly and senile patients with atrial fibrillation in the clinical practice of family medicine center, in the southern regions of the Kyrgyz Republic.Material and methods. Of the 1974 ambulatory medical observation cards, 470 patients with atrial fibrillation were selected who had indications for prescribing antithrombotic therapy (87 [18.5%] men and 383 [81.5%] women; 212 [45.1%] urban residents and 258 [54.9%] rural residents). The average age was 66.9±10.2 years. The analysis included data from 387 patients who received anticoagulant therapy. The frequency of prescribing antithrombotic therapy has been studied.Results. There were indications for anticoagulant therapy in 387 patients. Anticoagulants were taken by 167 (43.2%) patients, antiplatelet agents - 196 (50.6%), no therapy - 24 (6.2%). Anticoagulant therapy in 153 patients included warfarin, while only 11.8% had adequate INR control after one year of follow-up. Rivaroxaban was prescribed in 14 (8.4%) patients. 50% of patients had antiplatelet agents instead of anticoagulants, which were mainly prescribed by therapists of rural family medicine centers.Conclusion. In the southern regions of the republic, an unfavorable situation is observed with the prescription and management of elderly and senile patients on anticoagulant therapy. It is necessary to continue the research across the country in order to obtain a complete and real picture of the problem, and to develop a unified and relevant recommendation
