[The Impact of Medical and Non-Medical Factors on Population Mortality: the Social Factors]

The study was carried out to analyze national and international publications evaluating impact of social factors on population mortality. The analysis was made on the basis of publications accessible in prints and electronic format (MEDLINE, EMBASE, ISI Web of Science) in Russian and English from 1990 to 2015. The results of generalized studies testify a valuable impact on standardized mortality coefficients of such factors as social support and social integration, higher level of education, higher social position, global peacefulness index, developed infrastructure. The negative impact is made by social stress, lower level of education, higher level of unemployment, social deprivation. It is established that social factors are ones the main factors effecting population mortality level. The effect of social factors is ambivalent and heterogeneous in time and by population groups. he quantitative evaluation of effect of every one of social factors is difficult.
