[Educational level and self-assessment of the health status by population]

The results of a study of the correlation between the level of education on the one hand and the level of health on the other hand conducted in a selected group of individuals (aged 30 to 49) under the conditions of the existing social differentiation of population are presented in the article. According to the above sample, more than one third of respondents graduated from higher and special-training educational institutions, however, the acquired special training does not guarantee, today, either material well-being or training-related job. Still, persons with higher education are in more demand in the labor market and they loose job seldom; they also stick to a higher assessment of their material well-being and of their state of health as compared to those belonging to a lower education level. The incidence rate of chronic diseases (within the analyzed age group of 30 to 49 years) was found to be less among the respondents with higher education as compared with respondents with secondary or special-training education.
