Abstract
Purpose: to assess the incidence of obesity (ICD 10: E66.9) among the liquidators of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, employees of enterprises and organizations serviced by healthcare institutions of the Federal Medical Service of Russia.

Materials and methods: the work uses the information base of the Industry Register of Persons Exposed to Radiation as a result of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident (ORF), developed by the Burnazyan Scientific Research Center of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences and containing information on newly identified obesity diseases (ICD 10: E66.9). The register’s database contains information on 951 diagnoses of obesity (ICD 10: E66.9) identified for the first time, men – 750 (70.9 %), women – 201 (29.1 %), employees of enterprises and organizations served by healthcare institutions of the Federal Medical Service of Russia.

The statistical Excel software package was used to process the research results. Original programs have been developed to calculate absolute and intensive indicators and growth rates. The incidence of obesity (ICD 10:E66.9) was calculated per 1,000 workers.

Results: fn assessment of the incidence of unspecified obesity (ICD 10: E66.9) among employees of enterprises and organizations served by healthcare institutions of the Federal Medical Service of Russia was carried out. The features of the structure of the registered diseases of this contingent have been established. The dynamics of the incidence of diseases with unspecified obesity (ICD 10: E66.9) for the period 1989-2023 for this.

Conclusion: in the structure of newly identified diseases of the endocrine system, eating disorders and metabolic disorders (ICD 10; E00-E90.9) among the liquidators of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, men, the incidence of unspecified obesity (ICD 10: E66.9) ranks third – 11. 2%, among women it ranks second – 11.2 %.

The incidence of unspecified obesity (ICD 10: E66.9) among the liquidators of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident for 1989-2023. It was recorded mainly in the initial observation cycles. The aging of the contingent determined a negative growth rate for both men = -23.54 % and women = -49.34 %.
