For chronic hepatitis C, the incidence rates in Tuva are lower than in the Russian Federation and the Siberian Federal District due to low detection of the disease. The most affected group is adults from 40 to 70 years of age and the gender structure is dominated by women 57.8%. Annually in Republic of Tyva there are high mortality rates from diseases of digestive organs, including 50% of liver cirrhosis (including 35% of liver cirrhosis of viral etiology B, C, D).
