The bioindicative assessment of the park ecosystems state in Kyiv (Ukraine) on the gradient of anthropogenic impact and urbanization by levels of life organization from the cell to the ecosystem was taken; the biotic diversity and state of the plant, bird, and wild bee communities were taken into account. The spatial analysis of the anthropogenic factors distribution was performed using GIS mapping. For the first time, ecosystem services of park ecosystems and their interrelationships with urbanization and biodiversity were studied for the Kyiv urban ecosystem. A system of indicators for rapid diagnostics of the degradation degree of urban parks at different levels of organization of life has been developed and tested. The monograph is intended for scientists, educators, conservationists,nature managers, and non-specialist audiences. It is recommended for making management decisions on the maintenance, conservation, and care of landscape areas in urban ecosystems.

Background: The growing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCD), which cause the high mortality and disability, necessitates the research to prevent them and improves early diagnosis. Currently, the relevance of the NCD prevention is of particular importance because the NCD patients have an increased risk of the severe course of the COVID-19. Taking into account the processes of urbanization, the study of the features of epidemiology of risk factors for the development of the NCD should be conducted separately for urban and rural populations. Objective: We aimed to systematize the risk factors of non-communicable diseases in the urban population of Ukraine. Materials and methods: We used the bibliosemantic method and method of structural and logical analysis. A contextual search was conducted in such databases as the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the World Health Data Platform, the IHME Global Burden of Disease, as well as in the available publications in the system of PubMed, Cochrane Library. Results: Demographic trends in Ukraine are characterized by a predominance of mortality over birth rate, and since 1990, the population has decreased by 19.2%. Non-communicable diseases are the leading cause of death in the Ukrainians and risk factors that contribute to NCD are common in the population. The increase in mortality is due to both the effect of risk factors and the late diagnosis of the NCD. More than a half of the population aged over 18 years is overweight and obese. In large cities over the past 5 years there has been a sharp increase in the proportion of obese people. Hypodynamia and irrational nutrition are also characteristic features of urban residents. Atmospheric pollution is an additional NCD risk factor. Conclusions: The urban population of Ukraine is characterized by such risk factors of the NCD as population aging, hypokinesia, irrational nutrition, atmospheric pollution, hypodiagnosis of the NCD. All these threats in the combination with a low socio-economic level of the population form a need in more active implementation of the preventive measures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
