EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF STUDYING WOMEN'S HEALTH IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN FROM 2000 TO 2020 YEARS
Introduction. Women's health is one of the highest public health priorities and one of the Sustainable Development Goals. A variety of factors can affect a woman's health throughout her life. This article reviews the epidemiology of key indicators related to women's health. The article also focuses on the role in improving the efficiency of the health system and its ability to respond to women's health issues.
Objective: Epidemiological analysis of the main indicators of morbidity and mortality, as well as indicators of the prevalence of contraceptive use among females in the Republic of Kazakhstan for the period from 2000 to 2020.
Results: Over the past 20 years in the Republic of Kazakhstan in dynamics there has been a decrease in morbidity and mortality associated with women's health. In the period from 2016 to 2020, there is a downward trend in the incidence of malignant neoplasms among females, ranging from 206.9 to 188.6 per 100 thousand of the population. The highest incidence rates associated with iodine deficiency among females were observed in 2017 and amounted to 237.8 per 100,000 population. Over the entire period of the study from 2000 to 2020, the predominant level of mortality rates from breast cancer is observed among people living in urban areas compared to people living in rural areas. In 2020, there was a sharp increase in the maternal mortality rate to 36.5 per 100,000 live births. The extragenital diseases have occupied a leading place in the structure of causes of maternal mortality. Between 2000 and 2020, the proportion of women among people aged 15–49 who use contraceptives remains practically stable at 30.4 to 32.0. Between 2009 and 2015, the proportion of women among people aged 15 ‒ 49 years old living with HIV/AIDS has a similar almost stable trend from 84.8 to 86.8.
Conclusion: Despite the decrease in the dynamics of such indicators as mortality and morbidity, their dominance is more pronounced among females. Clearly, more research is needed to gain a better understanding of risk factors to explore women's health status and associated comorbidities. In addition, it is necessary to provide for the development of a national program aimed at protecting women's health in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
