| Summary: | Tuberculosis mortality was analyzed basing on regional differentiation in the Russian Federation in 1975-2014. Stable differences between regions when distributing this rate and its changes through time were evaluated as per two geographical regions. One of them was described by a spatial gradient pointing at the increase of the rate along the geographical axis from the north to the south. The second direction complied with the differentiation gradient presenting the increase in tuberculosis mortality in the direction from the west to the east. The article also demonstrates certain advantages and limitations of this spatial distribution analysis of generalized tuberculosis mortality rates. |
