Geography of Disease of the Circulatory System of the Population in the Areas of Old Agricultural Development (Cherkasy Region)

Abstract

Data on the basis of which the incidence analysis was conducted were collected in 20 districts for 2018. Based on the data on the incidence of diseases of the circulatory system in the population of the Cherkasy region and the cartogram of the prevalence of the same incidence, it was determined that Kanevsky, Shpolyansky and Khristinovsky districts have high incidence rates. They mainly specialize in their agricultural activities in grain farming in combination with industrial crops. Using pesticides, pesticides, nitrates, mineral fertilizers, they can cause not only pollution of soil and groundwater and a significant decrease in landscape and biodiversity, but also lead to diseases of the circulatory system.

The general dependence between deterioration of morbidity dynamics and a condition of the agrolandscapes disturbed by long agricultural activity is established. The main spatial difference in the spread of diseases of the circulatory system in the Cherkasy region is the concentration of absolute morbidity in the east of the region
