SOCIAL-ECONOMIC STATUS OF EVENS AND EVENK S AND PREVALENCE OF BILIARYDISEASES

An epidemiological survey demonstrated that biliary disease detection in aborigines of the Far North is more frequent in subjects with nontr aditional way of life. Chief biliary disease factors different in impo rtance for Evens and Evenks are as follows: prior viral hepatitis, obi sity, alcochol abuse. Incidence rate for different biliary diseases is not uniform in Far North native population. This may be explained by specificity of biliary functions.
