Abstract

A sociohygienic and medicodemographic characterization of the health status of forced migrants (refugees) was made on a model of a large industrial city in West Siberia. Morbidity for the most informative disease classes was studied using interviews and medical examinations of a random sampling of a representative group of refugees aged over 16 years. Each group of refugees from certain regions (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kirghizstan, and Tajikistan) is characterized by specific features in the structure of certain disease incidence. Nervous and mental disorders are an exclusion: their prevalence is 7 to 14.5 times higher than in the local controls in all refugees, except those from Kirghizstan.
