Abstract. Population and health statistics are considered as the basis for monitoring the implementation of the country’s demographic, migration and family policies, achieving the goals of the national project “Demography” and the state program “Health Development”. Currently, Rosstat calculates such indicators as “Healthy life expectancy”, “(Number of) share of citizens leading a healthy lifestyle”. These indicators are used to monitor the national project “Demography”. At the same time, the concept of “healthy lifestyle” is interpreted differently; accordingly, there is no uniform methodology for assessing it. In connection with the above, the issues of improving the methodology for statistical assessment of a healthy lifestyle, which are discussed in the article, are relevant. Aim. To clarify the essence of the concept of “healthy lifestyle”, to consider methodological issues of statistical measurement of a healthy lifestyle, give recommendations for the formation of a system of statistical indicators, which includes partial and integral quantitative indicators. Methodology. Methods of theoretical research are used in the form of generalization, comparison and special analytical procedures. The recommendations for the formation of partial and integral quantitative indicators and monitoring of key aspects of a healthy lifestyle are given. Scope of application of the results obtained. The material may be useful in improving methods for assessing a healthy lifestyle, setting target indicators, and giving lectures on demographic statistics. Results. The article provides a review of the literature on the problems of assessing a healthy lifestyle. It is noted that the concept of “healthy lifestyle” has different interpretations. The methodology for obtaining an integral index of a healthy lifestyle, proposed by Rosstat, is considered. The authors give recommendations for improving the methodology for integral assessment of a healthy lifestyle. Conclusions. The problems of measuring a healthy lifestyle in the modern world are becoming particularly relevant. To monitor the national project “Demography”, the target indicator “(Number of) share of citizens leading a healthy lifestyle” is calculated quarterly. At the same time, measuring the actual prevalence of a healthy lifestyle objectively seems to be a rather complex process, the algorithm of which needs constant improvement.
Keywords: healthy lifestyle, share of citizens leading a healthy lifestyle, indicators for assessing a healthy lifestyle, components of a healthy lifestyle
