Purpose. The aim of the article is to identify the main spatial trends in the spread of the incidence of dis-eases of the circulatory system in the regions of old agricultural development on the example of Cherkasy re-gion. Methods. Cartographic. Results. Data on the basis of which the incidence analysis was conducted were collected in 20 districts for 2018. The initial data for the research were information on medical statistics on the incidence of rural popula-tion (in terms of administrative districts in 2018), two author's EGIS "Production types of agricultural enterprises in Cherkasy region in 2015" and "Assessment of environmental impact of agriculture on the landscapes of Cherkasy region ».. Based on the data on the incidence of diseases of the circulatory system in the population of the Cherkasy region and the cartogram of the prevalence of the same incidence, it was determined that Kanevsky, Shpolyansky and Khristinovsky districts have high incidence rates. They mainly specialize in their agricultural activities in grain farming in combination with industrial crops. Using pesticides, pesticides, nitrates, mineral fertilizers, they can cause not only pollution of soil and groundwater and a significant decrease in landscape and biodiversity, but also lead to diseases of the circulatory system. Conclusion. The general dependence between deterioration of morbidity dynamics and a condition of the agrolandscapes disturbed by long agricultural activity is established. The main spatial difference in the spread of diseases of the circulatory system in the Cherkasy region is the concentration of absolute morbidity in the east of the region
