Abstract

In the Russian Federation, the number of working-age population is growing annually: in 2014, the number of able-bodied population was 33.8 million people(23.5%), while in 2018 this figure increased to 37.3 million (25.9%) [6]. In the Republic of Tatarstan, at the beginning of 2019 the number of able-bodied citizens reached 986 thousand people(26.0%). The purpose of this study was to analyze the determinants of the adult living standarts and the impact of these determinants on morbidity rates. A survey of 897 people using the SF-36 international questionnaire "SF-36 Health Status Survey". The majority of the working-age population under study was aged 60-64 (30%) and 65-69 (26%), aged 55-59 and 70-74 were 12% and 18% respectively. The smallest number of those under study was aged 75-79 (8%) and 80 and older (6%). Thus, our research has shown that the living standarts of over working-age population living in a large metropolis tends to significantly decrease depending on the age and gender. There was discovered a high level of prevalence of medical and social risk factors in these individuals, which are involved in the formation of the determinant of living standarts. For the first time, it was revealed that in people over the working age, the intensity of morbidity depends on the level of determinants of living standarts. The data obtained make it possible to develop measures to improve the quality of life of people over the working age and reduce their morbidity.

Keywords: correlation analysis; determinants of health; disease; megapolis; people over working age; quality of life.
