Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the situation with health indicators Russians and the social determinants that determine it in comparison with the corresponding indicators of residents of European countries. The social determinants of health are understood as: personal income, psychological comfort and security, behavior in the field of health, life satisfaction, a sense of happiness, attitude to the health care system and the country’s economy, etc. Comparison of almost all determinants of Russians and Europeans (according to the ESS study) turns out to be in favor of the latter. Similar distributions are common for both the general population and adolescents in a similar European study (HBSC). Moreover, such a modification in relation to the Russian sample has been characteristic of these European studies for a number of years. At the same time, when considering the responses of Russians in the 12-year time range, both studies reveal a different situation – positive changes are observed in almost all parameters. This conclusion allows us to hope that with the increased attention of the Russian state to issues of health and social well-being, the corresponding indicators of Russians on the international background will become more positive and competitive. A direction of possible actions in this environment is proposed.
Keywords:
health of Russians, social determinants, adolescent health, positive trends
