Abstract

The article considers results of the survey of population health inRussiain 2005-2016. Population health index (PHI) was used to estimate population health. It was calculated using independent or weakly dependent statistical indicators: infant mortality rate, life expectancy, general disease incidence, total number of disabled people, birth-death ratio (ratio of total fertility rate to overall mortality rate). Dynamics of these indicators is presented in the article. The information base was provided by Rosstat. Calculations showed that from 2005 to 2016 the population health index in the whole country increased by 35.3%. The main contribution to the increase in the population health index inRussiawas made by a reduction in infant mortality rate (by 45.5%) and an increase in the birth-death ratio (by 57.7%), which was mainly due to the rise of fertility. Positive dynamics of PHI was also observed in all federal districts. The highest rates of PHI were in theCentral Federal Districtand North-West Federal District. The article analyzes the dynamics of the PHI and its components, examines the causes of the difference in the value of PHI between theCentral Federal Districtand the North-West Federal District, which increased from 1.05 times to 1.11 times in the period from 2005 to 2016. Dynamics and growth rates of PHI in the federation subjects within these federal districts are considered. There is shown an increasing difference in the health status of residents of the two Russian capitals.
