The purpose of this study is to determine the pattern of morbidity and micro-elemental status among the adult population of Sakha Republic living in the mining region of Udachny with its well-developed diamond extraction industry in comparison with rural habitants living in the Tit-Ary region without mining pollution. The presented data demonstrate that ecological factors together with other factors influence the micro-elemental status and the pattern of morbidity of the population.
