In this article, the authors consider environmental risk factors on direct dependence of the population morbidity of the industrial region in the Russian Federation. In terms of concept of sustainable development, the evaluation of the conditions of health and life quality is made through a set of relevant indices and indicators. The authors analyze health conditions, morbidity and mortality using statistical reporting data. The paper evaluates the condition of health and the population life quality in a comparative aspect by year and region, based on the available data of the statistical reports of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. These factors directly or indirectly reflect the conditions of the environment, life quality, including the level of socio-economic development. As an integral evaluation, we are developing methods to reduce the impact of harmful factors on public health. As a result, we have the evaluation with subsequent ranking, according to which the strategy for further development is elaborated.

Aim. To identify the patterns of psychoactive substances consumption among adolescent students of initial vocational educational institutions of Kazan compared to equivalent parameters among their peers in the whole across Russia. Methods. Anonymous survey of adolescent students of initial vocational education in randomly chosen institutions (in Kazan and the Russian Federation - 17 cities from 5 federal districts). Results. Analysis of prevalence, age-specific structure of initiation and reasons for consumption of psychoactive substances among teenagers aged 15 to 17, students of initial vocational educational institutions of Kazan, revealed that these parameters outnumber similar indicators in the Russian Federation. Prevalence of alcohol consumption among students of initial vocational educational institutions of Kazan was 81.3 per 100 boys and 75.0 per 100 girls, and in the Russian Federation - 59.7 per 100 boys and 63.1 per 100 girls, respectively (p

Objective ― Analyzing gender-related specificities of hyperuricemia associations with lifestyle choices in the Russian Federation (RF) population. Material and Methods ― Cross-sectional survey was performed within the guidelines of the Russian national multicenter study ESSE-RF. The final sample size was 20781 people 25-64 years old. The effect of age, body mass index (BMI), diet, smoking status, and alcohol consumption on the incidence of hyperuricemia was evaluated. The analysis was carried out separately for men and women, using logistic regression. To build a model for predicting hyperuricemia, classification trees were used. Results ― Multidirectional associations of hyperuricemia were revealed both in women (with BMI, age, ‘Smart’ dietary pattern, alcohol consumption) and in men (with BMI, ‘smart’ dietary pattern, alcohol consumption, smoking status). The predictive accuracy of hyperuricemia incidence models was 60.4% in women vs. 65.7% in men. In both gender groups, BMI had the highest contribution to predicting the hyperuricemia incidence, while the next predictors, in terms of significance, differed among men and women. In women, the greatest impact, in decreasing order, was exerted by age, dietary patterns and drinking, whereas in men, by smoking status, dietary patterns and drinking. Conclusion ― In the RF population, there are multiple gender-specific associations of hyperuricemia with lifestyle choices, particularly nutrition, smoking and alcohol consumption.

Abstract Aim To get economic arguments for population-based interventions to reducing the consumption of alcohol in the Russian Federation. Material and Methods Studies of international practice on the implementation of population-based preventive measures to reducing alcohol consumption was carried out in order to identify interventions with proven effectiveness. We used the official statistics data collected by Ministry of health on the number of patients, health care resources utilization. Directs nonmedical costs included disability payments. Indirect costs included decreased productivity due to premature mortality and disability. Results Russian Federation has on the moment rather strong legislation in the area of alcohol regulation, but still there is a potential for further improvement. Increase in the price for alcoholic beverages by 10% in the Russian Federation can potentially prevent 7 477 potential years of life lost, the prognosed economic effect due to premature deaths reduction will be 42 002 523€ for 5 years. Increase in the minimum age for alcohol sales from 18years to 21years can save 48 920 potential years of life lost in Russian population, and the economic effect will be 279 912 075€ for 3 years. Reducing the permissible limit of blood alcohol concentration in vehicle drivers to 0.03mg/ml will allow to gain 8 834 673€ of economic effect for 3years.The deprivation of driving license for longer period after drinking and driving will give economic 916 809€ for 1 year due to prevent 217fatal accidents in alcohol intoxicated condition. And the effect of a complete ban on advertising alcoholic beverages in all media will give potential impact of 678 437 773€ for 10years Conclusions There are still potential for improvement the legislation in the area of alcohol control in Russian Federation. Described interventions demonstrate substantial potential economic effect. These data can be used as an argument for policy makers to justify the investments in these interventions Key messages The main results obtained in the simulation demonstrated the possibility of improving the prognosis of mortality and morbidity from NCDs associated with alcohol consumption. These data can be used as an argument for policy makers to justify the investments in these interventions.

The object of this research is the social relations established in the context of regulatory impact of the government upon the model of alcohol consumption. The author explores the questions of effectiveness and sufficiency of measures taken within the framework of administrative legislation. The subject of this research is the legal norms, scientific sources and law enforcement practice that characterizes the key vectors of government activity on prevention of alcohol abuse. The scientific novelty consists in consideration of state policy in this regard, with the exclusion of repressive intervention into social relations associated with alcohol consumption if they do not cross the boundaries of acceptable behavior manifested in the facts of alcohol abuse. The article is dedicated to the questions of state policy aimed at prevention of alcohol abuse in the Russian Federation. The author reviews the role of government in regulation of social relations in this area, as well as determines the regulatory mechanism, including the norms of administrative legislation. The recent Russia’s experience in the struggle against drunkenness and alcoholism is described. The content of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation is analyzed for determining the forms of regulatory influence upon the level and model of alcohol consumption. The author highlights the peculiarity of preventive impact of the norms of administrative legislation for actions related to alcohol abuse; notes separate flaws of administrative regulation in the area of prevention of alcohol abuse. Recommendations are made on the improvement of administrative legislation and law enforcement practice regarding the prevention of alcohol abuse.

Aim. To conduct a review of international studies and guidelines on the implementation of population-based preventive measures aimed at reducing alcohol consumption, and identify measures recommended by the World Health Organization, which have the potential for use in the Russian Federation.Material and methods. We used the following databases: PubMed, Science Citation Index, Scopus, The Campbell Collaboration Library of Systematic Reviews. The review includes systematic and non-systematic studies of measures related to alcohol consumption. The effectiveness of the identified measures was assessed according to the following criteria: behavioral changes (consumption/sales/level); incidence changes; mortality changes.Results. According to international practice of population-based prevention, effective measures that can be implemented in the Russian Federation include reducing the blood alcohol concentration legal driving limit, increasing the minimum legal drinking age, a complete ban on alcohol advertising, and a further increase in excise taxes.Conclusion. In the Russian Federation, significant progress has been achieved in implementing alcohol restriction measures, which has led to a reduction in its consumption and related consequences. Despite this, levels of alcohol consumption remain high and the potential for introducing population-based measures to reduce it has not been exhausted.
