Comorbidity epidemiological aspects discussed in the article. At the present time most common on the population level are research of the impact of infectious diseases on the macroorganism at the population level, or investigations of dynamics of noninfectious diseases under influence of several risk factors. The problem of coexistence (comorbidity) of infectious diseases with other nosologic forms usually are not considered. Some examples of simultaneous effect (comorbidity) of infectious and somatic diseases on the macroorganism under the influence of anthropogenic pollution are shown in the article. Environmental pollution is usually not taking into consideration third force which affects the development of comorbidity. Proposed new approach allowed differently interpret previously obtained materials and introduce additional variable risk factors in the chain of causal relationships between infectious disease and environmental pollution
