Description
Summary:The work studied and compared the dynamics of changes in the course of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and somatized disorders in Ukrainian population, in the 1st period before war (October 2021 - February 2022) and 2nd period during the war (March -July 2022). The choice of the study of the above-mentioned nosology is due, first of all, to the increase in cases of referrals to outpatient doctors regarding hypertensive crises, the increase in the frequency of patients' complaints about the lability of glycemic indicators during routine monitoring of glucose levels with ambulatory glucometers, the appearance of chronic pain syndrome of unspecified pathology with the beginning of war events. 272 people were examined in Mykolaiv Region (Ukraine). The patients were divided into three clinical groups: 1st group - 90 people patients with arterial hypertension; 2nd group - 92 people with type 2 diabetes; the 3rd group - 90 people with somatiform disorders. In the patients of the 1st group during the 2nd period, amount of people with hypertension of the 1st stage increased in 1.8 times (p = 0.0412), with 2nd stage hypertension increased in 2 times (p = 0.0491) and 3rd stage hypertension increased in 2.5 times (p = 0.0391); somatized disorders in 3rd group also increased in 4.1 times (p = 0.001
