In the age group of 44-60 years, 47% of men and 66% of women rated their own health as "good" (p<0.05). A feature of the self-assessment of health of the respondents of this age group was higher levels of subjective assessment of health in women compared to men: about 2% of women subjectively assessed their own health as "excellent"; the proportion of women who rated their health as "mediocre" was two times less compared to men (32% versus 17%; p<0.05). In the group of older people (over 61 years of age), gender characteristics of the distribution of self-assessment of health by respondents were also established. Thus, half of the men surveyed rated their own health as “good”, which was three times more than women (53% versus 18%, p<0.01). In women, on the contrary, the share of those who rated their own health as “mediocre” was 17% higher. Almost every fifth woman of this age considers her own health to be “bad”, while not a single man gave such an assessment. High health scores (“excellent” and “very good”) were absent for both men and women.
"It was an ordinary day, a cold morning. I was sleeping after a night shift and woke up from the fact that massive shelling had begun. A tank unit of 16 tanks approached us. Our armored personnel carrier was shot down before my eyes and I ran to help pull the guys out, but did not I ran a little, there were about seven meters left, I could hear the whistle of shells, explosions and darkness ... I rubbed my eyes from the ground and saw that there was a bare bone in the place of the arm, I thought that I should see what was happening with my legs, if I could move. "I thought that I would die, but I was lying, I realized that I would not die for a long time, that I would live and I had to do something, and I put on a tourniquet," the military man says.
Еще в 2002 г. по обоснованию Института в Календарь прививок Украины была введена инактивированная полиомиелитная вакцина (ИПВ) для 1-й прививки против полиомиелита (остальные 5 доз по возрасту дети продолжали получать ОПВ). В 2006 г. – эту вакцину начали применять и для второй прививки. Это позволило сначала снизить, а затем практически прекратить случаи вакциноассоциированного паралитического полиомиелита в Украине. С тех пор неоднократно поднимался вопрос перехода в Украину на полную схему вакцинации ИПВ, как это практикуется уже много лет во всех странах Европы, США, Канаде, Австралии. В настоящее время эта проблема приобретает еще большую актуальность, учитывая как эпидемическую ситуацию, так и перспективы вступления Украины в ЕС.
