    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Demography
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • Analysis of the Russian Federation's current population health status.
    • Identification of critical trends in mortality and birth rates.
    • Assessment of the public health system's challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the health status of the Russian population.
    • To highlight the necessity of setting priorities in public health development.
    • To investigate the causes of demographic decline.

    Main Methods:

    • Statistical analysis of mortality and birth rate data.
    • Comparative analysis with economically developed countries.
    • Examination of demographic trends including population decrease and life expectancy gaps.

    Main Results:

    • Mortality has risen 1.5 times, and birth rate has declined twice.
    • Population decreased by over 10 million by 2005 due to natural depopulation.
    • Mortality among the able-bodied population increased 2.5 times, with a sevenfold gap compared to developed countries.
    • Male life expectancy is 13.5 years lower than female life expectancy.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant preventable mortality exists, especially among the working-age population.
    • The declining birth rate (1.17 coefficient) is below the level needed for simple reproduction (2.15).
    • Urgent public health system reforms and priority setting are crucial for Russia's demographic stabilization.
