Material and methods: Study was carried out by complete epidemiologic examination among grown up native populations of the Republic of Saha (Yakutia) - yakuts and evenks in total number of 1216 persons. To put the diagnosis of osteoarthrosis the criteria developed at the Institute of Rheumatology of RAMS were used. Results: Osteoarthrosis prevalence in the examined sample was 18.0% including 9.4%) as definite and 8.6% as possible. Prevalence of the disease among males was practically twice lower than in females (12.6%) and 22.5% correspondingly, p<0.01).
