“It is difficult to avoid two things: dullness if you confine yourself to your specialty and inconsistency if you go beyond it.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Abstract

A method of iterative congruence for searching for the parameters of a kinetic mathematical model for aging of living systems using medical statistics data is developed. Its possibilities for describing risk functions of mortality and life expectancy for humans and animals depending on environmental factors are illustrated. The concept of forecasting environmental risks, i.e., risks to the population’s health from ecological factors, is formulated.
