The article analyzes the public health situation in modern Russia, the dynamics of demographic indicators, healthy life expectancy, primary and overall morbidity, disability, infant and working age population mortality. International comparisons of the World Bank, the World Health Organization and the OECD statistics is presented. The article provides insight into the factors influencing public health in Russia. It presents the results obtained by Russian researchers and their foreign colleagues, showing that most of the deaths and diseases of Russians are the result of an unhealthy lifestyle. High blood pressure (which itself is caused by an unhealthy lifestyle), alcohol abuse, smoking and overweight account for a high rate of mortality and health deterioration.
