This was reported in his Max channel by the editor-in-chief of the medical publication "Statsionar-Press," Alexey Nikonov. He noted that according to the Nizhny Novgorod Regional Center for Public Health and Medical Prevention, more than 300,000 people underwent medical check-ups in the first quarter of 2026, and over 70,000 residents of the region checked their reproductive health. In the structure of morbidity, diseases of the circulatory system and respiratory organs, diabetes, and malignant neoplasms are still the most common.
