Аннотация
The article presents the results of an analysis of the epidemiology of primary disability among adults in the Russian Federation for 12 years (2005–2016). During this period, 6.6 million elderly people (56.8% of the total number of people with disabilities) were reported as having primary disability status. Circulatory system diseases are the main cause of disability in the primary disablement structure of elderly people (68.5%), and hypertensive disease retains the leading position as the most important disability factor in the Russian Federation. The negative tendencies of primary disability due to this socially significant pathology are associated with the demographic situation of population aging. In the contingent of people with disabilities due to hypertension, the proportion of elderly disabled is 43.4%, while the proportion of disabled people of middle and young age is lower and amounts to 29.1 and 27.4%, respectively. Medical institutions should be prepared to work with a growing contingent of the elderly population and to enhance the availability and quality of medical care for patients and people with disabilities due to hypertensive disease, one of the most common and prognostically unfavorable pathologies that impose a limitation on vital activity.
