ABSTRACT
The paper considers demographic and cytogenetic aspects of monitoring of population living in the conditions of the North Caucasus foothills of Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. Among the examined men and women of reproductive age 51.5% of examined persons had frequency of chromosome aberrations from 1 to 3%, 40.9% had it from 3 to 4%, 7.6% had it above 4%. Causes of high variations in the mutations accumulation of Cd-production workers (from 4.9%±1.76 to 12%±2.65) are discussed. Cytogenetic analysis of women with obstetric anamnestic record, which level of chromosome aberrations varied from 2.5%±1.27 to 9.0%±2.34, was conducted. The reality of mutation load in the population of the given region correlation with demographic situation dynamics in 1996-2000 and 2008-2012 is shown.
