Introduction: One of the criteria of human potential is his health. Health is the greatest social value. It depends on the age of a person.

An age is one of the most powerful predictors of disease progression. Older age is characterized as irreversible structural changes in the body, accompanied by a gradual reduction of human functions that violates human adaptation to its environment [1]. Most often this is due to the unstable course of the disease, an increase in the number of chronic diseases associated, reduced reactivity and methods of treatment.

According to the materials of the UN World Assembly on Ageing, in 80-86% of individuals of appropriate age have chronic diseases that reduce physical and social activity.

The rate of morbidity among the older age persons (60-74 years) on average

in 2 times higher, and in the elderly age persons (75-89 years) in 4 times higher than in people of working age in Kazakhstan. Morbidity rate in the older age group has certain characteristics, which include, first of all polymorbidity and chronicity of a disease [2].

Goal: to study the structure of morbidity among the persons of older age in Astana.

Materials and methods: The information was obtained from the secondary informative sources [3-6] for the period from 2011 to 2013 on registered diseases in the reporting year in accordance with the ICD revision X.

The following methods have been used: informative -analytical, content analysis, ratios, comparison indices, indices of clarity, statistical methods.

Results and discussion: study of general morbidity structure in older age groups in dynamics for three years, ranked by frequent somatic diseases and presented in Table 1.

Diseases ranking showed that during period of time - 2012 -2013 years diseases of the circulatory system (DCS) take first place in senior group , in second place - diseases of the eye and adnexa, in third place - endocrine diseases, nutritional and metabolic disorders, fourth place belongs to respiratory diseases and fifth place –to disease of  bone -  muscular system.

DCS take a leading place n the structure of morbidity among the older age groups in 2011 as well as, disorders of eye and adnexa, while the third and fourth place belong to diseases of the respiratory and digestive systems, and on the fifth place are the diseases of the genitourinary system.

Given the tendency of ranking in the structure of morbidity in older adults for 2012-2013, there is an interest to examine the structure of morbidity in the context of each nosology belonging to these groups of diseases (Table. 2).

A detailed analysis of the morbidity structure in older adults showed that the most common types of DCS pathology are hypertension, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and angina pectoris. Theprevalencerateofcardiovasculardiseasesisincreasingrapidlywithageincreasing.According to WHO, the premature mortality rate in Kazakhstan of circulatory system diseases takes  the second place among the CIS countries and 3-4 times higher than in Western European countries [7].

Cataracts, glaucoma, myopia and acute allergic conjunctivitis have a large portion among the diseases of the eye and adnexa.

Endocrine diseases, nutritional and metabolic disorders take a third place in the structure of morbidity in older adults where the large part belongs to non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism and obesity.

Thus, the presented data on mortality rate show high needs of older persons in public health care. Particular attention should be paid to the circulatory system diseases, the eye and adnexa and endocrine diseases, nutritional and metabolic disorders required great effectiveness of treatment - preventive measures at the stage of primary health care.

Conclusions:

1.       Diseases of circular system take a first place in structure of morbidity in older adults (36%), second place - diseases of eye and adnexa (10.4%), third place - endocrine diseases, nutritional and metabolic disorders (8 6%), the fourth and fifth places- respiratory diseases (8.3%) and bone - muscular system (7.1%).

2.        This trend ranking disease in older adults kept for two years (2012 and 2013).

3.       Ranking of diseases in 2011 in the patients of the older age group revealed differences among the third, fourth and fifth ranks, corresponding to respiratory diseases, diseases of the digestive and urinary systems.

4.       The most common diseases of circular system in older adults include hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and angina pectoris.

5.       The large portion among the diseases of the eye and adnexa take cataracts, then glaucoma, myopia and acute allergic conjunctivitis.

6.       A significant proportion of endocrine diseases, nutritional and metabolic disorders belongs to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism and obesity.
