Factors underlying the poor state of health of the residents in Siberia
The modern science has enough evidence that mortality in Russia is determined by general and special factors of objective and subjective nature. The first group, i.e. the objective general factors, include: state of environment, poor infrastructure of cities and villages, the genome of Russian population, low-productive use of labor resource, complexity in the organization of social and family relations. The subjective and special factors include people’s goals and motives with respect to their future, the low standard of everyday life, low level of the health culture, lack of harmony between physical and personal development, etc. The pathogenetic effect of the both groups of factors can be estimated with the help of the well-known Gomperz-Makem formula in the system of region’s economic planning which should lead to a more precise population forecast.
