CURRENT SITUATION AND THE TRENDS OF CHANGES OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH IN RUSSIA
Abstract
The article presents the characteristics of the state of public health in the regions ofRussia(in 2002– 2012) based on male and female life expectancy and infant mortality. Changes in the state of public health have been identified as compared to 1990–2001 data. Five groups of regions with different state of public health have been determined and analyzed. Coupled analysis of male and female mortality rates according to death causes and a number of environmental and socio-economic factors has been performed for 168 towns with a view to a possible interpretation of current public health.
