Abstract: The aim of the study was to analyze the dynamics of the incidence and prevalence of myasthenia gravis in the Republic of Bashkortostan over the period 2003–2022.Results. During the analyzed period, the prevalence of myasthenia gravis in the Republic of Bashkortostan was approximately 13 cases per 100,000 population. It was relatively stable over time, except for the group of patients over 60 years of age, which demonstrated a nearly 2-fold increase. The incidence rate showed signifi cant fl uctuations, with an average of 1.4 cases per 100,000 population.Conclusion. Over the period 2013–2022, there was an increase in the prevalence of myasthenia, which is likely due to an aging population and an increased detection rate. The incidence was subject to signifi cant fl uctuations, which were largely related to organizational factors.
