The article presents the results of a medical and statistical analysis of respiratory diseases as one of the significant factors of preventable mortality in the Kyrgyz Republic, with a focus on the rural population of the Chui region. The relevance of the study is determined by the high prevalence of respiratory diseases, their substantial burden on the healthcare system, and their contribution to adverse outcomes that may be prevented through timely diagnosis and treatment. The aim of the study was to assess regional characteristics of respiratory morbidity using official statistical data, identify the position of the Chui region in the national structure, and justify measures to reduce preventable mortality in the rural population. The study was based on official statistical data of the Kyrgyz Republic for 2024. Descriptive and comparative statistical methods, analysis of intensive rates per 100,000 population, structural analysis, and comparison of morbidity levels between adults and children were applied. It was found that respiratory diseases occupied a significant place in the general morbidity structure in 2024, while the recorded morbidity rate in the Chui region reached 8,207.7 per 100,000 population, placing the region among territories of increased epidemiological and medical-social significance. Children demonstrated substantially higher morbidity rates than adults, indicating their increased vulnerability. The structure of pathology was dominated by acute upper respiratory infections, lower respiratory tract infections, and pneumonia, all of which are directly relevant to preventable health losses. The study concludes that it is necessary to strengthen prevention, improve access to early diagnosis, and optimize the organization of primary health care services for the rural population of the Chui region.
